PROGRAMMING THE TIME LAG FUNCTION
You can set up a time lag (TIMER) for the beginning of the cooking procedure. In this
case the cooking process will not start until expiration of the delay time.
To adjust the time lag function:
1. Prepare the appliance for cooking and switch on (see: ›Operating Your Stea-
mer‹).
2. Toggle to the adjustment of the time lag function (TIMER).
To activate the time lag function: with STEAMER flashing on the display, press
the set key ›§‹.The word TIMER flashes and 00:00 is displayed.
To switch back to the cooking time: with TIMER flashing on the display, press
the set key ›§‹ again. If you did not set up any cooking time, the appliance will
use the default cooking time (20 minutes; 00:20).
3. Set up the desired delay time by pressing the keys ›h‹ and ›min‹. The maximum
delay time is 12 hours 59 minutes (1:59).
If no further indication is given for ca. 5 seconds, the appliance starts the count-
down of the delay time automatically. After expiration of the delay time, the
heating process and count-down of the cooking time starts.
DRY-OUT PROTECTION
If you forgot to refill the water container in time or accidentally switch on the steamer
with an empty water container, the boil dry out protection switches off the heater
automatically. In this case a continuous acoustic signal sounds, the heater indicator
flashes and the timer stops.
TO RESET THE APPLIANCE:
1. Open the filling lid and slowly fill in water at least up to the minimum water level
mark (›min‹). Always keep the water level between the minimum and maximum
water level mark during operation. Close the filling lid.
2. To reset the appliance and continue the count-down, press the set key ›§‹.
Tip:
The dry-out protection interrupts the cooking process and, therefore, the adjusted
cooking time could become unsuitable. Hence, you should check your food for the
desired doneness.
