Use the Water Inlet Filler
(8)
to refill the
Water Tank
(7)
during cooking.
Gently pull the Water Inlet Filler out from the side
of your Intellisteam Compact. Refill water through
the Water Inlet Filler carefully using a jug.
The buzzer will stop automatically and the Refill

•
Steaming times stated in the Steaming Guide
(p.10) are only a guide. Times vary depending on
the thickness of food, spacing of the food inside
the Compartments, the freshness of food and
personal preference. As you become familiar with
your Intellisteam Compact, adjust the cooking
time to your preference.
•
A single layer of food steams faster than multiple
layers. Therefore, cooking times for a larger
quantity of food will be extended. For best results,
prepare the food in smaller / thinner pieces and
space evenly in the compartment.
•
When cooking large quantities of food, remove the
Lid
(1)
about halfway through, stir the food
carefully using a long handled utensil to ensure the
food is cooked evenly.
Warning: Do not put your
hand into the Container.
•
Do not crowd food unnecessarily. Arrange the
food with space to help steam flow.
•
Do not add salt and seasoning to the
Container
(3)
or Water Tank
(7)
. These minerals will
cause scaling and damage the heating element.
•
The liquid left after cooking in the Drip Tray
(5)
is
ideal for use in making sauces and gravy.
•
Never steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood
direct from freezer. Always thaw thoroughly first.
For ease of storage, your Intellisteam Compact is
designed so the Main Unit
(10)
fits into the
Container
(3)
. When not in use, your Intellisteam
Compact can be stored as depicted to save
space.
It is essential that the appliance is descaled
regularly to maintain optimum steam and
extend the life of the unit.
After every 15 hours of steaming usage, the
Descale Icon
(22)
will illuminate to remind you to
descale the appliance.

Fill the Water Tank
(7)
to the MAX level with white
vinegar.
(Not brown vinegar)
IMPORTANT: Do not use any other chemical or
commercial descale agent.
2.
Place the Drip Tray
(5)
, Container
(3)
and Lid

Compartments and press start.
WARNING: If the white vinegar solution begins
to boil over the edge of the Main Unit, switch
off the timer and disconnect the mains supply.
Reduce the quantity of white vinegar slightly.
Do not attempt to move your Intellisteam
Compact whilst the vinegar is still hot.
4.
When the steaming is completed, unplug the
appliance from the wall socket and allow to cool
completely before pouring out vinegar/water
solution.
5.
Rinse the Water Tank several times with cold water.
