 Put the lid on the top steaming basket (Fig. 13).

Note: If the lid is not or not correctly placed on the steaming basket, the food does not get steamed 

properly.

Using the appliance

The steamer has two steaming modes:

1  Manual mode: to quickly activate the steamer.

2  Meal mode: to prepare a complete meal with different preparation times for each basket.

See the separate sections below for more information on how to use these modes.

General procedure

The following steps are general steps that apply to both steaming modes. 

 1 

 Put the plug in the wall socket.

,

The default steaming time (20 minutes) appears on the control panel and the three steaming 

basket buttons light up (Fig. 14).

 2 

 Choose one of the two steaming modes and follow the required steps (see the sections for 

the different steaming modes below).

Note: You cannot use both steaming modes at the same time.
Note: If you steam large quantities of food, stir the food halfway through the steaming process with a 

kitchen utensil with a long handle. Make sure you wear oven mitts.
Note: During the first 5 minutes of the steaming process, the turbo light lights up. This indicates that the 

steamer uses extra power to heat up quickly. 

 3 

 When the steaming process has finished, the appliance beeps 5 times and then automatically 

switches to the keep-warm mode (see section ‘Keep-warm mode’).

 4 

 After use, carefully remove the lid.

Beware of hot steam that comes out of the appliance when you remove the lid.
Note: To prevent burns, wear oven mitts when you remove the lid. Remove the lid slowly and away from 

you. Let condensation drip off the lid into the steaming basket.
Note: Use a kitchen utensil with long handles to remove the food from the steaming baskets.

 5 

 When you remove a steaming basket, let condensation drip off the basket in the underlying 

steaming basket or the drip tray.

 6 

 Remove the plug from the wall socket and let the steamer cool down completely before you 

remove the drip tray.

 7 

 Empty the water tank after each use by tilting the base backwards and pouring the water 

from the back of the base (Fig. 3).

Be careful when you remove the drip tray and empty the water tank, because the water in both 

of them may still be hot, even if the other parts of the appliance have cooled down already.
Note: If the water runs out during steaming, the ‘water tank empty’ light and the light ring start flashing 

to indicate that you need to refill the water tank (Fig. 15).
Note: If you want to steam more food and need more water, you can add small quantities of water 

through the water refill spout to refill the water tank.
Note: The appliance automatically goes into the standby mode if it has not been used for 2 minutes. 

Press the start/stop button to activate the control panel again.
