before first use and assembly

Before first use

1.  Remove all packaging, promotional materials and stickers. Remove the plastic film 

covering the LCD digital display.

2.  Wash the lid, steaming bowls, steaming grids, rice bowl, handle, herb infuser and 

steam tube in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.

3.  Wipe the outside and inside of the base unit with a barely damp cloth. Never immerse 

the appliance, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

4. 

Position your steamer on a dry, level and stable worktop.  Ensure that your steamer 

is not positioned under a cupboard or shelf or near any furnishings or wallpaper that 

could be damaged by hot steam.

Assembly

1. 

Fit the steam tube. One edge of the steam tube has a rim and a small slot in it. This 

edge must face downwards.

2.  Fit the drip tray. Never operate your steamer without the  drip tray fitted.
3.  If required, fit the herb infuser. Place one or two teaspoons of freshly chopped or 

dried herbs onto the herb diffuser.

4. 

Fit the steam bowl(s). The bowls have dots on the handles. The bowl with the three 

dots on the handle is fitted first, then the bowl with two dots, then the bowl with 

one dot. You can use one, two or three steaming bowls depending on your cooking 

requirements. You must always fit at least one steam bowl and it must have a grid 

fitted.

5. 

If required, fit the rice bowl. The rice bowl can be placed in any of the steamer bowls.

6.  Fit the lid.

Note

The bowl grids can be removed from the bowls by pushing them up from underneath. 

You can fit or remove the grids according to your cooking requirements but the lowest 

steaming bowl must always have a grid fitted.

Filling with water

You must only use water to fill your steamer. To accelerate the warm up period, you can 

use hot (not boiling) water. You can fill your steamer in one of two ways:

A  At step 1 of assembly, use a jug and pour water directly into the reservoir. Make sure 

the water level is not below the MIN mark or above the MAX mark.

B  Using a jug, pour water through the filling aperture in the drip tray. Using the water 

gauge on the side of your steamer, make sure the water level is not below the MIN 

mark or above the MAX mark. This method is used during steaming to keep the 

water level topped up as required.
