1. Place your steamer on a flat, level, heat resistant surface. Allow adequate ventilation space on all
sides to prevent damage to cabinets, walls, etc.

3. If you're using another basket, fit a mount to the top of the first basket, then sit the second basket on
top of this.

basket on top.
5. Place the lid on top of the uppermost steaming basket.
FILLING
Fill the reservoir to the MAX mark with 500ml (1 pint) of boiling water. This will give you at least 60 minutes
steaming, enough time for most foods.
• Don't add anything to the water. Seasonings, marinades, etc. should be added to the food, not the
steaming water. They will possibly damaging the surfaces of the reservoir and element.
USING YOUR STEAMER

3. Turn the timer clockwise to the time required. The light will come on.

WARNING
Use extreme caution when removing the baskets. Never remove all the baskets together. Remove
the baskets one at a time starting with the top one. Use oven gloves or similar to help protect
against burns from hot steam.
BOILING DRY
In the event that all of the water has been used up during steaming, a protection device will switch your
steamer off, but the light will remain lit (unless the timer has returned to 0).

• the timer switches the steamer off.
Unplug the base unit, let it cool for a few minutes, then fill it with boiling water and start again.
