Operation
Before first use
Bear in mind the following instructions before
steaming for the first time:
1 Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories.
2 You must calibrate the boiling point when setting
up the appliance.
3 Fill the cooking basin with cold water up to the
minimum mark. Fit the glass cover.
4 Press in the temperature control knob, turn it to
the ¥ position and steam for 30 minutes. The
appliance now calibrates the boiling point.
5 After boiling point calibration, drain the water and
thoroughly dry the cooking basin.
Notes
Steaming without previously calibrating the
boiling point can cause malfunctions on the
appliance. It is possible that too much or too little
steam will be produced.
Extra steam may emerge from the appliance
during boiling point calibration.
Do not interrupt boiling point calibration and do
not open the glass cover. The appliance must
steam for 30 minutes.
Boiling point calibration
The boiling point is dependent on air pressure. As air
pressure drops with increasing elevation, the boiling
point drops as well.
Before steaming with the steamer for the first time,
you have to calibrate the boiling point. You must
repeat boiling point calibration after moving to a new
location. The steamer then adapts to the air pressure
at its installation site.
Calibrating the boiling point
1 Fill the cooking basin with cold water up to
minimum mark. Fit the glass cover.
2 Turn the temperature control knob to the 200°F
(95°C) position.
3
Within 5 seconds: Turn the same temperature
control knob back and forth
twice between the ¥
position and 200°F (95°C) and then turn the
control knob to the ¥ position.
The appliance now calibrates the boiling point. This
takes around 10 minutes. Do not open the glass cover
during boiling point calibration.
Note: Extra steam may be produced during boiling
point calibration.
