COOKING USING THE PRE-SET PROGRAMME
There are 5 pre-set programmes; indicated by the following symbols.
1.
When the unit is plugged in the on/off button will illuminate. Press the required pre-
set cooking programme button, the pre-set programme will then illuminate and
start flashing.
2.
To adjust the pre-set time, e.g. for crunchier or softer vegetables, simply turn the
control dial clockwise to increase or anticlockwise to decrease. Each turn will
change the cooking time by one minute.
3.
Steaming will begin within 30 seconds.
4.
To cancel the steaming process, or select a different cooking programme, press the
on/off button to return the steamer to standby mode.
5.
When the cooking time is up, two beeps will sound and the steamer will
automatically go into keep warm mode for 20 minutes. When the keep warm mode
is completed the steamer will beep five times. After one final minute the steamer
will beep two further times and then turn off.
6.
When you are ready to serve the food, press the on/off button twice and unplug the
steamer. Wearing oven gloves, lift off the lid, tilting it away from your face to
prevent scalds from hot steam. Carefully remove the tiers, taking great care not to
spill any hot cooking juices that may have collected on the trays.
7.
Let the drip tray and water tank cool down completely before cleaning. See CARE
AND CLEANING.
SETTING UP YOUR FOOD STEAMER
1.
Making sure the steamer is switched off and unplugged, pour plain, cold water
directly into the water tank, paying attention to the MIN and MAX levels on the
water gauge. The tank will hold up to 1.1 litres.
PLEASE NOTE: the tank should not be filled under a running tap as the power cord
or plug may get splashed. No herbs, stock, wine or seasonings should be added
directly to the water as they may damage the appliance. Instead, these ingredients
may be used with the flavour screen.
2.
If using herbs, spices or other dry seasonings, wet the flavour screen with cold
water to prevent them falling through the screen. Place a small amount (1/2 to 3
teaspoons) of herbs or spices onto the flavour screen to add flavour to food during
steaming. Place the drip tray over the water tank. It is not necessary to wet the
flavour screen if steaming without adding herbs or spices.
3.
Place the bottom tier on the drip tray. Add food to the tier.
4.
Depending on how many types of food you are cooking, stack with the top tier.
5.
Place the lid onto the top tier.
6.
Plug the steamer into the mains socket and turn on the socket. The on/off button
