ASSEMBLY

1.  Place your steamer on a flat, level, heat resistant surface. Allow adequate ventilation space on all 

sides to prevent damage to cabinets, walls, etc.

2.  Sit one of the baskets on the base unit.

3.  If you’re using another basket, fit a mount to the top of the first basket, then sit the second basket on 

top of this.

4.  If you’re using the third basket, fit the other mount to the top of the second basket, then sit the third 

basket on top.

5.  Place the lid on top of the uppermost steaming basket.

FILLING

Fill the reservoir to the MAX mark with 500ml (1 pint) of boiling water. This will give you at least 60 minutes 

steaming, enough time for most foods.

• 

Don’t add anything to the water. Seasonings, marinades, etc. should be added to the food, not the 

steaming water. They will possibly damaging the surfaces of the reservoir and element.

USING YOUR STEAMER

1.  Ensure the base unit is filled. Monitor the water level throughout steaming.

2.  Plug in your steamer.

3.  Turn the timer clockwise to the time required. The light will come on.

4.  When the timer returns to 0, the element will switch off, and the light will go out.

To stop steaming before the timer has finished, unplug the unit. 

DO NOT try to turn the timer 

anticlockwise because this will damage it.

WARNING

Use extreme caution when removing the baskets. Never remove all the baskets together. Remove 

the baskets one at a time starting with the top one. Use oven gloves or similar to help protect 

against burns from hot steam.

BOILING DRY

In the event that all of the water has been used up during steaming, a protection device will switch your 

steamer off, but the light will remain lit (unless the timer has returned to 0).

The thermostat will cycle on and off till either:

Unplug the base unit, let it cool for a few minutes, then fill it with boiling water and start again.
