CARE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning the food steamer, always switch it off, unplug it and let everything cool
down completely. Lift off the drip tray and pour away any liquid. Clean the lid, tiers and
drip tray in warm, soapy water. Rinse, and then dry thoroughly.
Carefully tip away any liquid remaining in the water tank. Wipe the power unit with a
dry cloth and clean the water tank with a soft, damp cloth. The power unit should never
be immersed in water or any other liquid.
Avoid abrasive cleaners and metal scourers as they will damage the product.
Once everything is clean and dry, stack the tiers inside each other and place on the
power unit for compact storage.
RECYCLING YOUR ELECTRICALS
Along with many other high street retailers, Lakeland has joined a scheme whereby
customers can take their unwanted electricals to recycling points set up around the
country. Visit

to find your nearest recycling point.
REFILLING THE WATER TANK
The water tank holds 1.1 litres, which gives approximately 1 hours’ steaming. Please
keep a close eye on the water gauge during cooking or when the steamer is in keep-
warm mode to ensure it does not drop below the MIN level. For ease the tank can be
topped up at any time during use, as shown below.
BOIL-DRY PROTECTION
For your safety, this food steamer automatically stops cooking if the water tank boils
dry. The buzzer will sound continuously and the refill symbol will be flashing
Refill water above the MIN level and the buzzer will stop and the
will stop flashing.
Reset the cooking programme to recommence steaming.
If the tank remains empty for several minutes the steamer will automatically shut off.
If this happens allow the steamer to cool completely before turning the steamer on
again.
HELPFUL HINTS
•
Choose the freshest, best quality produce available.
•
Avoid overfilling the tiers, as this will prevent the steam circulating freely.
•
The digital programmes offer pre-set cooking times for particular foods but you
may like to increase or decrease the time according to the quantity and type of
food and your personal tastes, e.g. softer/crunchier vegetables.
•
We always recommend using a kitchen thermometer to check that food is
thoroughly cooked, especially meat, fish, seafood and poultry.
•
Raw meat and poultry should always be placed in the lowest tier to prevent juices
dripping onto other foodstuffs.
•
To stop the cooking ahead of time, simply press the on/off button, or put the
steamer into keep warm mode by pressing the keep warm button.
