• To avoid any risk of burning, please wear heatproof oven gloves or pot holders when
removing the hot lid and food baskets.
• Do not operate the food steamer without water in the container of the body. If it starts
to heat up without water, or with not enough water, turn the machine off immediately
by turning the dial anticlockwise. Add the correct amount of water before switching
back on again.
• Do not fill up the appliance with cold water while it is still hot.
• The sudden change in temperature might damage it.
• When the steamer is in use, or just after use, allow it to cool before opening the lid.
Take care as a large amount of steam may escape.
• Please be aware, when some parts of the steamer body cool down and feel safe to
touch, the water in the body may still be hot.
• Do not touch the sides of the baskets and trays after the machine
has been on as they will be hot to touch.
Use the handles on the sides and the handle on the lid to remove the parts you need.
• When using the steamer, please keep it far away from children. It is especially
important as the steamer is a tower of stacked trays, which get hot and full of boiling
steam whilst in use. If it is pulled or knocked over it could cause injury,
scalding or even electric shock.

Before First Use
• Carefully remove all parts of the FS87 steamer from the packaging.
Lay out the parts so that you can see clearly if any parts are missing or damaged.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe clean the water tank/body, then wipe dry with a dry cloth.
Take care to never immerse the body, power cable or plug in water or any other liquid.
• To avoid risk of electric shock, do not let moisture come into contact with the plug or
power cable at any time.
• Wash all the baskets, food trays, drip tray and the lid in warm soapy water.
Dry thoroughly before use.
How to Use
1. Place the body of the steamer onto a flat,
stable surface near an easily accessible plug socket.
2. Carefully fill the water tank up to the required level using a jug.
Using the water level window to guide you, do not overfill the tank past the MAX mark,
or underfill it below the MIN mark.
3. Place the steam cap into the centre of the steamer,
and then place the drip tray on top.
4. Next, add the baskets you need.
The baskets are numbered on the handles to make it easy to assemble correctly.
Place basket 1 onto the drip tray ensuring it is sitting in place properly.
5. If you only have enough food to fill one basket, place the lid on top.
If you need to add more food, use basket on top of basket
6. According to how much food you want to cook, stack the baskets as shown above and
place the lid on the top basket.
7. Plug in the steamer and turn the machine on.
Rotate the timer dial clockwise to your desired time. If you are unsure how long to put
the timer for, skip ahead to the section titled ‘Cooking Guide’.
8. Once the timer has been set the steamer will start cooking.
9. If you need to stir the food halfway through cooking, lift the lid carefully to avoid any
steam that will billow out of the baskets.
10. If the water level gets too low during cooking, use a jug to slowly add warm/hot water
through the grooves/ the two handles on both sides of the body.
If you add cold water it will lower the temperature inside the steamer and so the food
will take longer to cook.
