More than one basket
• The baskets can be assembled on the base in any
order.
• Place the food in the basket. We recommend that
you put the largest pieces of food, requiring slightly
longer cooking time, in the lowest basket.
• Place the basket onto the base.
• Place a connection ring between the two
baskets.
• Put the lid back on.
Turning on the appliance
• Plug in.
• Set the timer to the recommended cooking time.
• The indicator light will go on, and steam cooking
begins.
• When the cooking time is up, the timer rings and
the light goes out.
Caution: check that the appliance is correctly
assembled before use. Use only steaming basket
supplied for this appliance.
After cooking
• To avoid food becoming overcooked, remove the
steaming basket immediately using a cloth and
place it on a plate.
• If you used the food bowl, remove it carefully,
holding it by the side, and use a long utensil if
necessary.
• After use, unplug the appliance and leave it to
cool down completely before putting it away.
Cleaning and maintenance
• Do not use abrasive cleaning products.
• Do not clean the plastic bowls with the scourer
side of a sponge.
• Do not immerse the base of the product in water.
Use a damp cloth.
• Plastic accessories can be washed in the
dishwasher.
• Empty the reservoir and refill the appliance with
fresh water before each use.
Descaling
After using the appliance several times, scale may
form on the heating element, depending on the
hardness of the water used.
It is recommended to descale the appliance
regularly, so that steam formation is not
impeded, and to prolong the life of your
appliance.
• Fill the water reservoir and the turbo ring with a
solution of tap water and white vinegar to the
maximum level mark. Do not use other descaling
products.
• The juice collector, steaming basket, lid and the
food bowl are not used during this operation.
• Plug in.
• Set the timer to 20-25minutes. If the vinegar boils
over, stop the timer and unplug the appliance.
• When the timer rings, unplug the appliance and
wait for it to cool down before emptying out the
vinegar.
• Rinse the reservoir with clear water several times.
Some Recommendations
• You can reduce cooking times significantly by
filling the reservoir with warm water, but note
that cooking times given in the recipes are for
use with cold water.
• Do not pack too tightly in the steaming basket or
food bowl. Leave some space for steam to circulate
as much as possible.
• The time indicated may vary depending on the
size of pieces of food, the space left between
items, the quality of food used and individual
taste. Once you familiar with the appliance, you
will be able to adjust these times. For best results,
use pieces of food of approximately the same
size. If the pieces are of different sizes, and need
to be put in layers, put the smallest pieces on top.
• If you are steaming large quantities of food,
remove the lid halfway through the cooking time,
stir the food and put the lid back on.
• Use the juices collected in the juice accessory to
make soups, sauces, etc.
Use of several steaming basket at the same
time
• It is possible to put different food items in each
basket, but make sure that their flavors
complement each other.
• If you are cooking food with different cooking
times, start cooking in lower basket with the food
requiring a longer cooking time. When the timer
reaches the setting for cooking the food which
requires a shorter cooking time, remove the lid
using a cloth, and put the higher bowl in position.
Close and continue cooking.
