[. . . ] Never submerge the appliance in water or another liquid. The appliance needs to dissipate its heat in order to prevent fire. Therefore it is vital to make sure that the appliance has sufficient clearance on all sides and cannot come into contact with flammable materials. Do not use the appliance near explosives or flammable materials. [. . . ] Don't put delicate flavours below strong flavours, or vegetables beneath greasy foods. Put the lid on top, so that its rim fits outside the wall of the topmost basket. Plug the base unit into the power socket, switch the socket on, if switchable, and turn the timer to the required time (up to 60 minutes). The Power-on light at the bottom of the water level indicator will come on and will remain on until the timer returns to 0 16. When the timer returns to 0, steaming has finished, the steamer will switch itself off, and the power-on light will go off. The timer is clockwork, not electronic, so it may tick for a bit after steaming has finished. If you intend to steam for more than 40 minutes you either keep an eye on the water level and/or the timer, and top up the reservoir with boiling water at about the half way mark, or set the timer for half the steaming time, then the bell will alert you to top up the reservoir. To steam a bulky item such as a whole chicken then place the chicken in the bottom basket and lift the base out of the second basket on top of the first. The appliance has a built-in thermostat to prevent dry cooking when the water reservoir is empty. Turn the timer to 0, let it cool for a couple of minutes, then top up with top up whit boiling water. The food has already cooked for a while so be sure to calculate the correct rest time. When the timer returns to 0, the bell will be sound, the Power-on light will go out, and the streamer will switch off. Unplug the base unit from the power socket. Everything will be hot ­ use oven gloves or a cloth ­ use the handles. Steam will escape from the baskets ­ keep hands, face, etc. When lifting the lid, angle it away to direct steam away from your body. Lay the lid on a heat resistant plate or tray. Take care when remove the juice tray ­ apart from being very hot, the juices are likely to stain if split. Any water remaining in the reservoir should be left to cool, then poured out via one of the handles, to avoid getting the timer switch or mains lead wet. Timing The times given in the cooking guide on the next page are for a single layer of food in the bottom basket, used on its own. You will need to extend these times If two or three baskets are used, as the same amount of steam is having to heat greater volume of food. If a particular food is cooked in the second or third basket. [. . . ] Warranty is only valid for the first buyer and is not transferable.
