Dry-out Protection
If you forgot to refill the water container in time or accidentally switch on the steamer
with an empty water container, the boil dry out protection switches off the heater auto-
matically. In this case a continuous acoustic signal sounds, the heater indicator flashes
and the timer stops.
To reset the appliance:
1.
Open the filling lid and slowly fill in water at least up to the minimum water level
mark ('min'). Always keep the water level between the minimum and maximum water
level mark during operation. Close the filling lid.
2.
To reset the appliance and continue the count-down, press the set key
.
Tip:
The dry-out protection interrupts the cooking process and, therefore, the adjusted
cooking time could become unsuitable. Hence, you should check your food for the
desired doneness.
Dismounting the Basket Bottom
In the steamer baskets there are 4 clamps holding the basket bottom in place. You can
remove the basket bottoms of the steamer baskets II or III to build a larger steamer bas-
ket using the frame of two steamer baskets.
NOTE:
Always use steamer basket I with bottom.
1.
. Place the steamer basket (II or III) upside down on a stable surface.
2.
Near one of the clamps, carefully push down the bottom without violation to loosen
the bottom.
To re-install the basket bottom simply insert the bottom in the correct orientation in the
frame of the steamer basket and push down the bottom until it seats in the clamps. Ensure
that the openings of the wells in the basket bottom face upwards.
Care and Cleaning
WARNING!
Always unplug and let the appliance cool down before moving or clean-
ing it.
Do not place or immerse the steamer base or power cord in any liquids.
Do not place the steamer base or power cord in an automatic dish-
washer or under a tap. Do not spill any liquids on it.
Because your food will not touch heated surfaces, the ingredients will not stick to the sur-
faces of the steamer and cleaning is quite easy. Discolouration of any plastic parts may
occur with some strongly coloured food but will not affect the cooking performance in
any way.
However, you should decalcify the water container regularly to avoid any loss of per-
formance as well as avoid excessive energy loss. See Decalcifying the Water Container.
