To start cooking without a timer:
• Use the dial to select manual mode.

cooking.

time is 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
10. Water needed” signal
When there is not much water in the tank, the
icon appears and an audible warning sounds
every 30 seconds. When the tank is empty, the
appliance stops operating, the icon
starts
flashing and a continuous audible warning
sounds until the tank is filled.
• Fill the tank (as explained above) and press
button to re-start the cooking.
11. Remove Food When Ready to Serve
Use oven mitts to remove lid, lifting the
side farthest from you, allowing any excess
moisture to drip back in the dish and
allowing steam to escape away from you.
Caution: Be careful when removing
lid from glass dish after cooking has
completed as hot steam vapour will
escape. Lift lid from farthest side from you
slowly.
12. After Cooking Is Complete
• Remove plug from power outlet.
• Allow water in steaming dish to cool
completely before emptying.
• During cooking cycle, condensation causes
hot water to accumulate in the steamer
base. Empty carefully when cooled.
• Follow cleaning instructions below.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Always allow the steamer to cool completely
before cleaning and always be unplugged from
the power outlet.
• Wash all parts (except the steamer base) in
warm, soapy water then rinse and dry
thoroughly.
• The glass dish, tray and lid can also be cleaned
on the top rack of a dishwasher.
• Do not use chlorine bleach or abrasive
cleaners on any part of the steamer.
• Never put the steamer base in dishwasher or
immerse it in water. The base can be wiped
with a damp cloth to remove residue.
• To clean the inner area of the steamer base
where the steaming dish sits, sprinkle a clean,
damp sponge with a teaspoon of baking soda,
and wipe carefully. Wipe again with a clean,
damp sponge.
• Empty Water Release Drain over a kitchen sink
before storing the unit. Water Release Drain is
located below the water reservoir on back of
unit.
• Store your steamer in a dry place, out of the
reach of children.
• Any other servicing should be performed by
an authorised service representative.
DESCALING
After several months of use, calcium deposits
may build up in the steam tube of your steamer.
This process is normal. You should descale
regularly to maintain maximum steam production
and extend the life of your steamer.
1. Fill the water reservoir to the maximum level
with equal parts of water and white vinegar
(not cider or wine vinegar).
2. Plug the unit into an electrical outlet. The glass
dish and lid should be in place. Set timer for
60 minutes and begin steaming.
3. When the timer sounds, unplug and allow to
cool completely before pouring out vinegar
solution.
4. Rinse the water reservoir, steaming dish and lid
several times with fresh, cold water.
5. Fill the reservoir with cold water and place on
base. Set timer for 30 minutes and begin
steaming to remove any residual vinegar from
the steamer.
NOTE: We also recommend using the descaling
method to clean the steamer after steaming
seafood.
