crease the cooking time;
to decrease it). The cook-
ing time ranges from 1 to a maximum of 3 minutes (if
you do not set a specific cooking time, the PureSteam
Cooker will automatically use the default setting of 30
minutes).
• Turn the on/off knob (2) left to start the cooking cycle:
the
diagram will appear on the display to indicate
the water tank is on, and the timer will start to count-
down the remainder cooking time on the display.
• when the set cooking time expire, the cooking cycle
will switch off: at this point the PureSteam Cooker will
beep 5 times in succession and the
symbol will start
flashing on the display (3).
• If the water in the tank runs out before the selected
cooking time expires, the PureSteam Cooker will auto-
matically switch off the cooking cycle and an acoustic
alarm will emit a 10 second beep: the
cooking cycle
symbol will disappear and the
p
symbol will start to
flash together with the remainder cooking time; write
down the remainder time and turn the on/off knob (2)
to “0” to switch off the appliance. Now disconnect the
power cable from the mains and wait for 2 minutes be-
fore opening and removing the water tank cap to top
it up with water.
Attention: There may still be hot steam in the water tank
so be very careful when opening and removing the water
tank cap (4).
Once you have topped it up with water, put the cap back
on (4), plug the power cable into the mains and use the
and
buttons to set the cooking time that you
wrote down earlier, plus a couple of extra minutes; turn
the on/off knob (2) left to switch the appliance on again.
• When the cooking cycle is running, if you wish to
change the cooking time, simply press the
or
button to set the new time (never over 30 minutes).
• When the cooking cycle ends, turn the on/off switch (2)
to the central “0” position.
• Unplug the cable from the mains socket.
• Remove the bowl (8) from the base (2) and open the
transparent lid (6), paying attention as these parts can
be very hot (see the section entitled: BOWL) and there
may be some hot steam still inside the bowl.
• Use a standard oven glove to remove the steamer bas-
ket (7) from the bowl (8) as these parts may still be
very hot.
• You can either throw away or store the cooking water
found in the bowl, according to the recipe recommen-
dations or as you prefer.
When you have finished cooking, allow the appliance to
cool down completely before removing any water left in
the water tank; when you pour the liquid out, keep your
finger on the steam outlet (13) so that the liquid cannot
pass through this hole.
HOW TO USE THE BLENDER CYCLE
The Food Processor PureSteam Cooker can be used to
blend all the different foods generally used during the
weaning phase: Fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, rice etc. The
special design of the blades helps reduce the amount
of air bubbles in blended food which can cause colic in
small children.
• Check that the appliance is disconnected from the
mains and the on/off knob (2) is set to the central “0”
position.
• If the bowl (8) is fitted in the base (1) remove it and
then remove the transparent lid (6), see section: BOWL).
• Remove the steamer basket (7) from the bowl (8) (if it
is still hot, follow the handling instructions in the HOW
TO USE THE COOK CYCLE section).
• Check that the blade group (9) is fitted correctly and
each protection cap (9B) has been removed; see sec-
tion:: BLADE GROUP).
• Place the diced or sliced food inside the bowl (8).
WARNING! To ensure the appliance continues to
work properly, never place hard food (for instance frozen
food) inside the bowl (8) or too much food inside the
steamer basket.
• Place the transparent lid (6) on the bowl (8) and fit the
bowl onto the base (1) see section: BOWL).
• Plug the power cable into a mains socket; the display
(3) will light up and “00” will appear on the screen; this
confirms that the appliance is connected to the mains
and ready to use.
• Select blender mode by turning the on/off knob (2) to
the right; an indicator light will be visible on the right
of the display which indicates that the blades (9B) are
in use.
To blend the food to the desired consistency, turn and
hold the knob (2) in this position for about 10 seconds,
then turn it back to “0” for another 10 seconds; repeat
this operation until you achieve the desired results. It is
recommended to wait at least 10 seconds between one
10 second blend cycle and another; do not exceed the 10
second blend cycle time.
• Remove the food from the bowl (8) using the practical
spatula (10) included in the pack. Never use your hands
to remove the food as the blades (9) are extremely
sharp.
It is highly recommended to check the temperature of
the contents and mix them well before giving them to
children.
HOW TO WARM-UP AND DEFROST FOOD
Thanks to the “intense steam” option, the food processor
PureSteam Cooker can also be used to warm-up and de-
frost food that has been prepared in advance. To defrost
baby food stored in jars:
• Prepare the food processor PureSteam Cooker to run in
warm-up mode, following the instructions in the sec-
tion: HOW TO USE THE COOKER CYCLE
In short:
a) insert the baby food jar (11) without its lid inside the
baby food jar basket (12);
b) place the baby food jar basket inside the empty bowl
making sure the rod on the bottom of the bowl is slotted
into the hole under the baby food jar basket properly.
Do not insert jars that are larger than those in the baby
food jar basket.
• Note: Warm-up or defrost times can vary according to
the temperature and amount of food in question;
follow these default instructions and adapt as
necessary:
- Warm-up mode: 80 g of food takes about 15 minutes
to cook; 120 g of food takes about 20 minutes to cook;
if the baby food jars have been removed from the
fridge, double these times.
- Defrost mode: set the cooking time to about 20 min-
utes; this operation may need repeating according to
the amount of food and how compact it is. Once the
food has defrosted, you can cook/warm-up the con-
tents following the relative instructions.
- When the warm-up cycle has been completed, remove
the baby food jar basket paying attention as it could
still be very hot. Use of oven gloves or pads is highly
recommended.
Warming up diced food
• Prepare the FOOD PROCESSOR
- PURESTEAM COOKER to warm-up diced food follow-
ing the instructions in the section: HOW TO USE THE
COOKER CYCLE
WARNING! Never reheat food more than once, or
for over an hour, in accordance with food hygiene and
biological safety practices.
