Descaling
In hard water areas scale might build up on the heating ele-
ment. This might result in the steam turning off before the food
is cooked.
•
To avoid that, after 7-10 uses, pour 3 cups of vinegar in the
reservoir and fill up with water till the "MAX" level.
•
Do not place the lid, steam or rice bowls and collection tray
on the steamer.
•
Plug the mains plug into a socket and turn on the appli-
ance. Set the steaming time to 30 minutes.
•
When the time has expired, disconnect the mains plug from
the mains. Let the device cool down completely.
•
Only then pour the water from the reservoir. Rinse the
water reservoir several times with cold water.

Only store the appliance when cooled down and clean.
•
We recommend storing the appliance in its original packag-

Cooking instructions
General
•
The following time settings are for reference only and may
vary under different circumstances.
•
When using several steam bowls, the total cooking time will
be extended by approx. 5 minutes.
•
Always place large pieces of food with empirically long
cooking time into the lowest bowl.
•
Do not cook too big or too many pieces of food in order for
the steam to escape through the uncovered steam open-
ings.
•
Defrost meat and poultry before cooking.
•
You may use liquids collected in the tray for soups or
sauces.
rice:
1. There are different rice grades. Observe the individual
cooking instructions of each grade.
2. Put rice and water with the exact measured amounts in the
rice bowl. Cover with the lid and switch the steamer on.
3. For each rice grade, check after the given minimum cook-
ing time if the rice has been evenly cooked. Stir the rice.
4. When checking/stirring the rice, make sure no condensa-
tion water will drop into the rice bowl. This would change
the texture and taste of the rice.
5. After cooking you may season the rice with salt, pepper or
butter.
