before first use and assembly
Before first use
1. Remove all packaging, promotional materials and stickers. Remove the plastic film
covering the LCD digital display.
2. Wash the lid, steaming bowls, steaming grids, rice bowl, handle, herb infuser and
steam tube in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.
3. Wipe the outside and inside of the base unit with a barely damp cloth. Never immerse
the appliance, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
4.
Position your steamer on a dry, level and stable worktop. Ensure that your steamer
is not positioned under a cupboard or shelf or near any furnishings or wallpaper that
could be damaged by hot steam.
Assembly
1.
Fit the steam tube. One edge of the steam tube has a rim and a small slot in it. This
edge must face downwards.
2. Fit the drip tray. Never operate your steamer without the drip tray fitted.
3. If required, fit the herb infuser. Place one or two teaspoons of freshly chopped or
dried herbs onto the herb diffuser.
4.
Fit the steam bowl(s). The bowls have dots on the handles. The bowl with the three
dots on the handle is fitted first, then the bowl with two dots, then the bowl with
one dot. You can use one, two or three steaming bowls depending on your cooking
requirements. You must always fit at least one steam bowl and it must have a grid
fitted.
5.
If required, fit the rice bowl. The rice bowl can be placed in any of the steamer bowls.
6. Fit the lid.
Note
The bowl grids can be removed from the bowls by pushing them up from underneath.
You can fit or remove the grids according to your cooking requirements but the lowest
steaming bowl must always have a grid fitted.
Filling with water
You must only use water to fill your steamer. To accelerate the warm up period, you can
use hot (not boiling) water. You can fill your steamer in one of two ways:
A At step 1 of assembly, use a jug and pour water directly into the reservoir. Make sure
the water level is not below the MIN mark or above the MAX mark.
B Using a jug, pour water through the filling aperture in the drip tray. Using the water
gauge on the side of your steamer, make sure the water level is not below the MIN
mark or above the MAX mark. This method is used during steaming to keep the
water level topped up as required.
