Storage
• Deposit the power cord in the cord compartment.
• To store the appliance, place the steaming tray “no. 1” in steaming tray “no. 2” and these together in
steaming tray “no. 3”. Attach universal bowl and lid.
• Place the stacked trays on the condensate collector and then all together on the base unit.
• This will save storage space.
Useful tips
• One layer of food will steam more quickly than several layers. Therefore, steaming time increases with
quantity of food, e. g. 1 kg of cauliflower florets require longer than 0.5 kg.
• To ensure best results, make sure that all pieces are of a similar size.
• If pieces are of different sizes and have to be layered, place the smaller pieces on top.
• Do not cram food into the steaming trays. Leave enough room between the pieces to ensure a good
supply of steam circulation.
• When steaming larger amounts, stir the food with a long-handled spoon after half of the steaming time.
• Never steam frozen meat, poultry or seafood. Always thaw everything completely first.
• The universal bowl is also an ideal container for steaming other foods such as fruit, soups, puddings etc.
• Place the largest pieces or those with the longest steaming times (also rice) in the bottom steaming
tray. When using the upper trays, steaming times are usually a little longer, therefore add a further 5 to
8 minutes.
• As taste can spread through condensation, place meat and fish in the bottom steaming tray.
• When preparing foods with different steaming times, start with the food with the longest steaming time
in the bottom tray. If the remaining steaming time is as long as that for those foods with the shortest
steaming time, carefully remove the cover and place the next tray with the food still to be steamed on
top of it. Then place the cover on top again.
