.
6.3 Topping up the water
If the water level on water level indicator
13
drops below the MIN marking during
operation, you must top up the water so that
the appliance does not run dry and
overheat.
1. Put clean drinking water in a suitable
pouring vessel.
2. Pour the water through the filling
opening in handles
9
in bottom part
12
.
6.4 Ending operation
1. Once the set cooking time has elapsed,
an alarm sounds and the appliance
switches off.
2. If you want to switch off the appliance
before the set cooking time has elapsed,
turn time selector
14
to "0".
3. Wait briefly until the steam in the
appliance has dissipated.
4. Remove steamer baskets
5
with the
cooked food.
Warning!
The condensate in
collector
7
is hot. Allow it to cool
down before you take out
collector
7
, so that you do not
accidentally scald yourself.
5. Clean the appliance carefully after use
(see “10. Cleaning and storing” on
page 73).
6.5 Thermal cut-out
The appliance is protected against
overheating. As soon as all the water in
bottom part
12
has gone, making the
temperature too high, the appliance
switches off automatically.
In this case, disconnect the appliance from
the power supply and allow it to cool down.
You can then run the appliance again with
water in it.
7. Hints on cooking with the steamer
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. This means that
salt, fat and seasoning can be used
sparingly. Steaming is thus especially
recommended for the preparation of baby
food.
7.1 Using steamer baskets
Depending on requirements, 1, 2 or all 3
steamer baskets
5
can be used.
The steamer baskets
5
are different sizes
and numbered. The relevant number is on
the handle of the steamer basket.
For cooking, always put basket 1 on first,
number 2 on top of it and finally number 3.
