Refilling the basin
If steaming for a long period it may be
necessary to add extra water.
Fill with water through the 'add water
hole' by using a suitable filling jug.
Cooking rice
The steamer comes with a container that
allows you to cook rice to perfection.
1. Add rice and water to the rice bowl.
2. Place rice bowl with rice and water into a
bowl.
3. Proceed as described previously.
Useful hints and
tips
• Always ensure meat is placed below other
food types.
• Steaming times stated in the cooking
guide are only a guide. Times may vary
depending on the size of the food pieces,
spacing of the food in the steamer bowl,
quantity of food, freshness of food and
personal preference. As you become
familiar with the steamer, adjust the
cooking times as necessary.
• A single bowl of food steams faster than
with 2 bowls in use. Therefore, the
cooking time for a larger quantity of food
will be longer.
• For best results, be sure pieces of food
are similar in size. If pieces vary in size
and layering is required, place smaller
pieces on top.
• Do not crowd food in steamer bowl or rice
bowl. Arrange the food with spaces
between pieces to allow for maximum
steam flow.
• Always use the drip tray to prevent drips
splashing.
• Never steam meat, poultry or seafood
from frozen. Always completely thaw
first.
Cooking guide
• The cooking times shown below are only a
guide and should be adjusted accordingly
to suit your tastes.
• Times shown are based on foods being
cooked in the lower steamer bowl. Foods
in the upper steamer bowl may take
slightly longer.
• While the majority of foods cook in much
less than 60 minutes, longer cooking
times may require adding additional
water to the water basin. Follow refill
instructions. Remember to reset the
timer as the steamer will switch off when
the timer runs out.
Care and
cleaning
WARNING: Allow steamer to cool
before washing. Turn timer to off and
unplug from mains socket.

The bowls, lid and drip tray may be
washed in a dishwasher (top rack only).

clean damp cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

damaged.
