The STEAM function is perfect for gently
steaming fish and vegetables. It is
pre-programmed to use the HIGH pressure
cooking setting. When steaming, use the
Steaming Rack.
Capacity:
When the Multi-Cooker is used with the
STEAM function, the maximum capacity of
liquid should be just under the rack wires, so
that the liquid is not touching the food.
Steaming
Note:
The unit cannot pressure cook without
liquid. Ensure a minimum of 250ml of liquid
is used inside the removable Cooking Pot.
• Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level
surface.
• Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base.
Plug the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet.
The Multi-Cooker will beep, and the Display
Screen will illuminate with four dashes (- -
- -).
• Add 250ml of water to the bottom of the
removable Cooking Pot and insert the
cooking rack. Ensure water is just under
the wires of the rack so that food is not
touching water.
• Place your food on the cooking rack.
• Place the Lid on and lock by rotating
counterclockwise to the LOCKED
position.
• Using the finger tab, flick the Steam
Release Valve to the “Seal” position.
• Press the STEAM button and adjust the
time and pressure as needed.
Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 15
to find the possible time and pressure
adjustments.
• Once you have made the desired
adjustments, if any, press START/STOP.
• The Multi-Cooker needs to gain pressure
before pressure cooking can begin. When
the Multi-Cooker is gaining pressure,
“HEAT” will appear on the Display Screen
and the time will not count down. The
Status Bar will illuminate to track the
pressurisation progress cooking will begin.
When pressure has been reached, “HEAT”
will disappear on the Display Screen, and
the time will begin to count down.
• After the set cooking time has elapsed,
the Multi-Cooker will beep and will
automatically switch to the KEEP WARM
setting. The Display Screen will therefore
change from the cook time to a new timer
that will count up to 4:00 (4 hours) or until
you press the START/STOP button. After
4 hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the
Multi-Cooker will turn off.
Using the STEAM Function
CAUTION:
During cooking, steam will build
up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the
Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect
your hand.
TIP:
See the Steaming Chart on page 17.
