To prevent the water from evaporating completely, it is important to replenish the water in good time. Refill with a sufficient amount of water through the water feeder opening. - Once the programmed steaming time has elapsed, an acoustic signal is heard and the indicator light goes out. - Carefully proceed to lift off the steaming tops from the appliance and place them on a surface resistant to heat and water. - Always use an oven cloth when removing the rice container: touch the container only by its handles. - Always remove the plug from the wall socket after use; allow sufficient time for the appliance to cool down. Useful hints - To ensure proper steam circulation, make sure that the pieces of food are evenly spaced and not placed too close to each other inside the steaming top. - The steaming time largely depends on various factors such as size, quality, consistency and nature of the food to be cooked, as well as the spacing between the pieces. - Generally, best results are achieved when the pieces are similar in size. However, should it be necessary to steam pieces of different sizes, the larger pieces should be placed in the lower insert. - If different types of food are to be placed in the steaming tops, ensure first that their flavours are compatible. - In addition, when steaming different types of food with different cooking Type of food Fish fillet Fish steak Lobster Mussels, clams Chicken parts Mutton Pork Beef Cauliflower Potatoes Spinach Vegetables Mushrooms Rice fresh eel, herring fresh fresh boneless steak steak steak fresh fresh fresh fresh fresh Weight (in g) 250 250 2 pieces 500 500 500 500 500 500 500 250 250 250 375 times, place those items with the longest cooking time in the lower steaming top. To ensure that all food will be ready at the same time, we recommend the following method: begin with steaming the larger items (i. e. those items that are placed in the lower insert) first, until their remaining cooking time equals the cooking time of the food yet to be cooked; now add the other steaming top(s) to the assembly. - When steaming larger food quantities, carefully remove the lid halfway through the steaming process, turn over the food an put the lid back on. [. . . ] - Pour any remaining water from the water container and wipe it clean.
