Operating principle

You can use the steamer to steam, boil, poach and
blanch.
Steaming is cooking in hot water vapor. The
temperature range is around 210°F The water vapor
transfers the heat. Suitable foods include vegetables,
potatoes and fish.
The steam surrounds the food and prevents it from
losing its nutrients. The food maintains its form, color
and typical flavor. Food isn't browned in the steamer.
The appliance offers you the option of non-
pressurized steaming inside of one or two cooking
inserts. With the perforated cooking inserts, the
steam can reach the food from all sides. This ensures
that even large quantities are evenly cooked.
You can set the temperature of the cooking liquid
between 100 - 200°F, in 10°F increments. Precise
setting of the water temperature allows you to melt
couverture chocolate, poach meat or cook noodles.

Operation

Before first use

Bear in mind the following instructions before
steaming for the first time:
1
Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories.
2
When setting it up, a boiling point calibration
must be carried out.
Note:
Steaming without first conducting the
boiling point calibration can cause the appliance
to malfunction. It is possible that too much or too
little steam is produced.
3
After the boiling point calibration, fill the cooking
basin with water up to the overflow edge and run
the appliance at steam cooking level for
30 minutes to eliminate potential smells of
newness. Drain the water and thoroughly dry the
cooking basin.
