INTRODUCING YOUR FOOD STEAMER
This full-size steamer has been designed to make cooking as healthy and simple as
possible. There are 5 pre-set programmes for eggs/meat, fish/vegetables, chicken, rice
and mixed food, offering precision cooking at the touch of a button.
Cooking times can also be set manually, if you prefer, using the 99 minute timer.
A helpful keep warm mode will keep food warm for up to 20 minutes once cooking is
complete. See BOIL-DRY PROTECTION.
The digital display shows at a glance which programme has been selected and how
much cooking time is left.
The water tank lets you see if it needs topping up – this can be done at any time during
cooking. See REFILLING THE WATER TANK.
For versatility, the food steamer can be used with 1 or 2 tiers. The mixed foods
programme is ideal if you are cooking several different types of food that require
different cooking times, e.g. a meal of fish, potatoes and broccoli. Start with the food
that takes the longest to cook and place it in the bottom tier. As the cooking time
counts down add the next tier of food and always placing the lid on the uppermost tier.
PLEASE NOTE: for food safety, meat or poultry should be placed in the lowest tier.
When adding extra tiers during steaming, please take great care as hot steam will
escape when the lid is lifted. Always wear oven gloves and tilt the lid away from you to
prevent burns.
