carefully, holding it by its sides�

9� Set the time for cooking the food according to the recipes
on page 12–15� The ON indicator (RED) will illuminate and
after a while the steaming will begin� Condensation during
steaming is normal �
• The timer operates regardless of whether the
steamer is plugged into the mains socket or
not� Be sure that the ON indicator illuminates
when setting the timer�
• During the operation do not touch the steamer
base, baskets or lid as they get very hot�
• To prevent burns, always use oven gloves or a cloth when removing the

Useful Hints and Tips
• Steaming times stated in the charts and recipes are intended as a guide� If you have
followed the instructions and the food is still not suciently cooked, simply steam
for a little longer until satised�
• A single layer of food steams faster than several layers� More cooking time is
required for a larger quantity of food, for example 2lb of cauliower will need longer
to steam than 1lb�
• For best results, make sure pieces of food are similar in size� If pieces vary in size and
layering is required, place the smaller pieces on the top�
• Do not crowd food in the steaming basket or rice bowl� Arrange the food with
spaces between the pieces to allow for maximum steam ow�
• When steaming large quantities of food, remove the lid about halfway through the
steaming time and stir using a long handled utensil, protecting your hands from the
steam with oven gloves�
• Never steam meat, poultry or seafood from frozen� Always thaw completely rst�
• All the times stated in the Steaming Charts and Recipes are based on the use of cold
water, but to slightly reduce the steaming time you may use warm (but not boiling)
water to start�
• The rice bowl is an ideal container for steaming other foods such as fruit, vegetables,
vegetable pates, puddings etc�
• Always place the largest pieces of food with the longest cooking time in the lower
basket�
• You may place dierent foods in the upper and lower baskets, but as condensation
will drip from the upper basket be sure the avours compliment each other�
• While steaming meat or poultry and vegetables, always place the meat or poultry in
the lower basket so that juices from raw or partially cooked meat cannot drip onto
other food�
• Steaming times for food in the upper basket are usually slightly longer so allow a
minimum of extra 5 minutes�
• If you are cooking food with dierent cooking times, place the food that requires
the longest cooking time in the lowest basket and start cooking it rst� When the
timer reaches the setting for the next basket of food, remove the lid using oven
gloves or a cloth, and add the basket to the stack on the steamer base� Cover with
the lid and continue steaming�
