1. Carefully open the lid for steamer baskets /the lid for the blender jug.
When opening the lid, ensure that you are not hit by a cloud of hot
steam.
2. Take the lid right off.
3. Use a relatively long skewer or fork to check the state of the food
being cooked.
– If the food is ready, press the “ ” button to switch the
appliance off.
– If the food being cooked is not yet ready, put the lid back on
and allow the appliance to continue working.
8.5 Thermal cut-out
The appliance is protected against overheating. As soon as all the water
in the blender jug has evaporated, allowing the temperature to get too
high, the appliance switches off automatically.
If this happens, disconnect the appliance from the power supply and
allow it to cool down.
You can then run the appliance again with water in it.
9. Tips for steaming
Steaming is one of the healthiest ways of cooking food. Not only are the
nutrients and colour of foods largely retained, the natural flavour and
bite of food cooked this way make it a pleasure to eat, so salt, fat and
seasoning can be used sparingly.
