amount of water to reach the maximum water level mark 'max'. Shut the filling lid.
CAUTION! Do not overfill the water container beyond the maximum water level mark
'max'. Otherwise the water could overflow the brim of the water container during oper-
ation. Only use clear water without any ingredients. Dry spilled water immediately.
3. Insert the drip pan in the steamer base (see Features of Your Design Steamer). The
drip pan will only fit in the right orientation. The rim of the drip pan must seat on the rim
of the steamer base.
4. Prepare your food and fill the steamer baskets.
There are marks on the handles of each steamer basket. Always begin with steamer bas-
ket I (bottom), then fit steamer basket II (middle) and place steamer basket III always on
the top. On occasion you may leave out the steamer baskets II and/or III.
For large pieces of food you may combine the steamer baskets. Just remove a basket
bottom to build a larger basket from 2 steamer baskets (see Dismounting the Basket
Bottom).
NOTE: Always use the lower steamer basket with the basket bottom.
5. Place the prepared steamer baskets in the correct sequence on the drip pan: I first,
II in the middle, III on top.
The baskets must fit without any gaps and may not move about or tilt.
6. Put on the lid. Do not operate the steamer without the lid. Otherwise the upper foods
will not be cooked sufficiently.
7. Wipe off any spilled water.
8. Start operation.
Plug in the power connector in an appropriate power outlet (see Important Safeguards
for Electrical Appliances).
Press the power button. The symbol 00:00 appears on the display.

Press the set key ().
The default cooking time is displayed (00:20; 20 minutes). In addition, the word STEAM-
ER flashes to indicate, that the steamer is ready for adjustment of the cooking time.
Tip: if you do not press any keys, the word STEAMER flashes for a period of ca.
5 seconds. Then the appliance starts heating automatically. You can set up a time delay
for the cooking process (see Programming the Time Lag Function).
By pressing the set key while STEAMER is flashing on the display, you toggle to pro-
gramming the time delay and TIMER flashes on the display. By pressing the set key
