IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
1. Don’t put the mains lead, plug, or base unit in water or any other liquid. Don’t use the steamer
in the bathroom or near any source of water, and don’t use it outdoors.
2. The steamer should be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult.
3. Don’t put frozen meat or poultry in the steamer – defrost fully before use.
4. Fill the reservoir up to, but not over, the max mark (890 ml). If you overfill, boiling water may be
ejected, and you may damage the steamer.
5. Don’t touch the hot surfaces of the base unit, Lid (1), Baskets (2), Rice Bowl (6), or juice tray.
6. Use oven gloves or a cloth when lifting the Lid (1), Baskets (2), juice tray, or Rice Bowl (6), and
lift them only by the handles.
7. Don’t reach over the top of the steamer. Steam will escape from the vents, the Baskets (2), and
the base unit.
8. Keep hands, arms, face, etc. clear of the escaping steam when lifting the Lid, (1) Baskets (2),
juice tray, or Rice Bowl (6).
9. Position the steamer on a firm, level, heat resistant surface, close to a power socket, and out of
reach of children.
10. Don’t let the mains lead hang over the edge of the working surface, where it might be caught
accidentally or tripped over, especially if there are children about.
11. Don’t use the steamer near or below curtains, shelves, or cupboards, as the escaping steam
may damage them.
12. Don’t line the baskets with paper, foil, etc., as this will block the steam holes.
13. Don’t cover the steamer during use.
14. Don’t place the steamer on or near a hotplate, hot hob or burner, and keep the mains lead away
from hot surfaces.
15. Unplug the steamer from the power socket when not in use, before moving and before cleaning.
Let it cool down fully before cleaning and storing away.
16. Don’t use accessories or attachments other than those supplied by the manufacturer.
17. Don’t use the steamer for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
18. Don’t operate the steamer after it malfunctions or if the mains lead or plug is damaged. There are
no user-serviceable parts. It must be returned for repair or replacement in order to avoid hazard.
19. Household use only.
