Thus, act with care:
• Only touch steaming trays, universal bowl and lid at the integrated handles. Use pot cloths for handling
hot food!
• Lift the lid slowly, turned away from you and let the steam escape to the back! Do not lean over the
appliance when it is producing steam. Always keep the lid closed during operation!
• Place the appliance on a stable and even surface (no varnished surfaces, no table cloths etc.) and do not
operate it in the vicinity of sources of heat (oven, gas flame etc.) or in explosive environments, where
inflammable liquids or gases are located.
• Keep a distance of at least 10 cm around the appliance to avoid damage by heat or steam and to grant
an unobstructed working area. Make sure there is no furniture sensitive to heat or moisture above the
appliance. Make sure steam can draw off easily!
• Place it beyond children’s reach!
• Always use sufficient water for the required cooking time and do not cover the water tank with
aluminium foil or anything else!
• When overfilling, boiling water may spurt out during operation!
• Do not add anything directly to the water (salt, spices, oils, wine etc.). This might impair water
circulation and damage water tank and heating element!
• For checking if the food is done, use kitchen tongs or long-handled cutlery!
• Should there be residual water in the water tank or condensate collector after the steaming process,
empty it after cooling down only.
• Do not operate the appliance without steam distributor, condensate collector and steaming tray with
lid!
• Do not use any vessels, bowls and other accessories which are not particularly qualified for this
appliance!
• Always unplug the appliance before cleaning!
• Do not move the appliance when hot. Appliance and accessories must have cooled down completely
before cleaning or moving!
• Never immerse base unit, power cord and plug in water for cleaning!
• Pull the power plug after each use for safe switch-off!
Application possibilities
Steaming is one of the healthiest ways of cooking. It mostly preserves flavour, vitamins, colour and
nutrients of fresh food. You can use grease, salt and spices sparingly.
The appliance is especially suitable for steaming and cooking potatoes and vegetables of all kinds, fish,
poultry, meat and eggs but also for rice, dumplings, pudding, stewed fruit and much more.
Flavour distribution cap
The integrated flavour distribution cap makes it possible to flavour the food to be cooked additionally. For
this individual refinement, both dried and fresh herbs, spices and flavouring ingredients can be used.
For example, nutmeg goes well with all kinds of cabbage, garlic with broccoli, chervil with peas, rosemary
or nutmeg with potatoes, lemon balm with asparagus. For refining beef, green pepper corns are popular
and curry flavour for chicken. Desserts can be refined by adding flavour of lemon zest or vanilla bean, too.
