Before using for the fi rst time
Remove any packing materials completely,
and clean the appliance as described in the
section
General care and cleaning
below.
Operation
Before the appliance is used, the water
–
container must be fi lled with cold, clean
water, observing the
maximum
marking.
Fit the juice collection tray onto the
–
housing and make sure it is safely
attached.
Th
e steaming tops can be stacked as
–
desired. However, ensure that a stacking
ring is placed between the steaming tops.
Place the food to be cooked into the
–
steaming top. Larger food items require a
longer cooking time; they should therefore
be placed in the lower steaming top.
When steaming food, always use the
z
steaming tops. Do not place food directly
into the water container or the juice
collection tray.
When cooking rice, the rice container
–
must be placed into the lower steaming
top. Fill the container with a maximum of
375g of rice.
Place the steaming tops onto the juice

collection tray.

assembly have been correctly fi tted and

Once the programmed steaming time has

elapsed, an acoustic signal is heard and the
indicator light goes out.

a surface resistant to heat and water.
Always use an oven cloth when removing
–
the rice container: touch the container
only by its handles.
Always remove the plug from the wall
–
socket aft er use; allow suffi
cient time for
the appliance to cool down.
Useful hints

–
sure that the pieces of food are evenly
spaced and not placed too close to each
other inside the steaming top.

consistency and nature of the food to be
cooked, as well as the spacing between the
pieces.
