Tips and tricks

▯
The steamer can be equipped with a maximum of
two cooking inserts at once.
▯
When steaming with two cooking inserts, you can
put the cooking inserts into the cooking basin at
the same time or one after the other during the
cooking procedure. The perforated insert must be
placed under the unperforated insert.
First put the food with the longer cooking time
into the cooking basin. Put the second cooking
insert into the cooking basin once the remaining
time is the right time for the second dish. This
allows dishes with varying cooking times to be
finished at the same time.
▯
Put the glass cover on whenever possible. The
lid's good seal prevents steam and energy from
being lost.
▯
When steaming and boiling, flavor the cooking
liquid with e.g. herbs, seasonings, garlic, ginger,
lemon juice, wine. Make sure to use the residuary
filter in the cooking basin and remove the remains
before draining it so that the drain doesn't get
clogged up.
▯
Steamed foods have a more intense natural flavor
than food prepared in conventional ways. This
means that additional seasoning is largely
unnecessary.
▯
Nutrients, vitamins and minerals also remain
intact, as well as the natural flavor, form and color.
Preparation does not involve fat.
▯
The food doesn't come in contact with the boiling
water. This means that the food is completely
surrounded by steam and its nutrients are not
washed out by water.

Cleaning appliance

▯
Empty the cooking basin after each use and clean
it with dishwashing liquid and a soft dishwashing
brush. Don't treat the cooking basin with
stainless steel care products, since they normally
aren't food-safe.
▯
Grime, salt or lime deposits can cause corrosion
damage.
▯
Clean the cooking inserts and the residuary filter
in the dishwasher or with mild soapy water. Only
clean the hand grip for the cooking inserts by
hand.
▯
Dry the chamber thoroughly with a dishtowel. The
glass cover shouldn't be put on as long as the
cooking basin is still damp.
▯
If a white deposit forms in the cooking basin due
to very hard water: Wipe out cooking basin with a
mixture of vinegar and water or a food-safe
decalcifier. Rinse out afterwards with clear water.
▯
After drying, polish the cooking basin with a soft
cloth and a drop of cooking oil.
After cleaning and drying, you can store the cleaned
cooking inserts and the grip in the cooking basin. The
glass cover must be turned over so that the appliance
cover (special accessory) lies correctly on the
surface.
Note: After a few hours of operation, the heating
contours begin to show on the bottom of the basin.
This has no negative effect on the functionality or
quality of the appliance.
