Adjust the desired cooking time by pressing the keys h and min. The maximum cook-
ing time is 1 hour 59 minutes (1:59). By exceeding the maximum cooking time, the
cooking time is automatically set back to zero (00:00).
• Pressing the key h (hours, left hand to the display) increases the cooking time by one hour.
• Pressing the key min (minutes, right hand to the display) increases the cooking time
by one minute.
Tip:
holding the 'min' key automatically increases the cooking time until you release the key.
With the intended cooking time shown on the display, just wait ca. 5 seconds. If no fur-
ther indication is given for ca. 5 seconds, the appliance starts heating automatically and
the word STEAMER stops flashing on the display. Additionally the red heater indicator
lights up.
Steam begins to flow after ca. 3 minutes of heating. Depending on the type and amount
of food in the steamer baskets, it will take some minutes for the steam to reach the upper
steamer basket, lid and steam vent.
WARNING!
Hot condensate may build up in the steamer baskets and on the interior of the lid.
Beware of hot condensate and steam when removing the steamer baskets or lid.
Do not hold your hand, arm or face over the steam vents in the lid. Ensure that persons
stay in sufficient distance to the appliance, when removing the lid or steamer baskets.
Place the steamer baskets and/or lid on a water-resistant and heat-resistant surface
where other persons will not touch it unintentionally.
CAUTION!
Ensure that the condensate will not drip on the steamer base. Immediately wipe off any
spilled liquids.
Ensure that the water level in the water container will never fall below the minimum water
level mark 'min' during operation. If the steamer base boils dry, the dry-out protection
switches off the heater automatically, the timer stops and an acoustic signal continuous-
ly sounds (see Dry-out Protection).
Do not overfill the water container. Only fill up the water container to the maximum water
level mark.
10. With extensive cooking times regularly check the water level (ca. 1/2 hour) and, if
required, fill up with a sufficient amount of clear water.
To fill up the water container: open the filling lid and slowly fill in the required amount
of water. Take care that the water will not spill out of the filling lid. Immediately wipe off
spilled water. After filling the water container close the filling lid.
11. If necessary, check the doneness of your food. Beware of hot steam and conden-
sate when lifting off the lid.
