IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, follow basic safety pre-
cautions, including the following:
DANGER Electric Shock Risk
1. Don't put the mains lead, plug, or base unit in
water or any other liquid. Don't use the steam-
er in the bathroom or near any source of water,
and don't use it outdoors.
2. The steamer should be used by or under the supervi-
sion of a responsible adult.
3. Don't put frozen meat or poultry in the steamer - defrost
fully before use.
4. Fill the reservoir up to, but not over, the max mark
(890ml/1 1/2 pt). If you overfill, boiling water may be
ejected, and you may damage the steamer.
5.
Don't touch the hot surfaces of the base unit, lid, bas-
kets, rice bowl, or juice tray.
6. Use oven gloves or a cloth when lifting the lid, baskets,
juice tray, or rice bowl, and lift them only by the handles.
7. Don't reach over the top of the steamer. Steam will
escape from the vents, the baskets, and the base unit.
8. Keep hands, arms, face, etc. clear of the escaping
steam when lifting the lid, baskets, juice tray, or rice
bowl,
9. Position the steamer on a firm, level, heat resistant sur-
face, close to a power socket, and out of reach of chil-
dren.
10. Don't let the mains lead hang over the edge of the work-
ing surface, where it might be caught accidentally or
tripped over, especially if there are children about.
11. Don't use the steamer near or below curtains, shelves,
or cupboards, as the escaping steam may damage
them.
12. Don't line the baskets with paper, foil, etc., as this will
block the steam holes.
13. Don't cover the steamer during use.
14. Don't place the steamer on or near a hotplate, hot hob
or burner, and keep the mains lead away from hot sur-
faces.
15. Unplug the steamer from the power socket when not in
use, before moving and before cleaning. Let it cool
down fully before cleaning and storing away.
16. Don't use accessories or attachments other than those
supplied by the manufacturer.
17. Don't use the steamer for any purpose other than those
described in these instructions.
18. Don't operate the steamer after it malfunctions or if the
mains lead or plug is damaged. There are no user-
serviceable parts. It must be returned for repair or
replacement in order to avoid hazard.
19. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (includ-
ing children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsi-
ble for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
Household use only
Before use
After cleaning the unit must be run in for 30 minutes
without placing any food for drying during this period.
Any smoke or smells produced during this procedure are
normal. Please ensure suffi cient ventilation. After the
running in period, rinse the racks in water and dry all parts.
This act is only necessary for the first time.
Preparation
1 . Put the base unit on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface,
close to a power socket, and out of reach of children.
2. Steam will escape, so don't put it near curtains, under
shelves or cupboards, or near anything that might be
damaged by the escaping steam.
3. Shorten the mains lead by winding excess lead round
the cord storage area underneath the base unit.
4. Have dinner plates or a tray handy to put the baskets on
afterwards, as they'll drip. This would be a good time to
set out serving spoons, tongs, etc, for emptying the
baskets. Check the location of the oven gloves (or have
a cloth to hand).
5. Fit the steam tube round the element.
6. Boil 890ml (1 1/2 pt) of water in a kettle.
Filling the reservoir
7. Fill the reservoir to the max mark (890ml/1 1/2 pt) with
the boiling water. This will give up to 40 minutes
steaming, enough time for most foods. If you need to
cook for longer than 40 minutes, top up the reservoir
every 20 minutes or so.
8. Don't add anything to the water. Seasonings,
marinades, etc. may damage the surfaces of the reser-
voir and element.
