to use your steamer
●
Keep your steamer away from walls
and overhanging cupboards: the
steam could damage them.
●
Season food after cooking. If
seasoning gets into the water, it
could damage the heating element.
●
See the cooking guides on pages 6
and 7.
1 Fit the strainer inside the water tank.
(It stops particles getting into the
element.)
2 Pour cold water into the tank.
Always make sure the water is
between the ‘Min’ and ‘Max’ levels
marked. (When filled to ‘Max’, this
will produce steam for approximately
60 minutes.)
●
The steamer is fitted with an anti
limescale coated heating element to
prolong the life and efficiency of your
steamer. However, depending upon
the water hardness of your area, we
recommend the use of filtered water.
(Kenwood water filters are widely
available).
●
Don't add anything (even salt or
pepper) to the water – it could
damage the heating element.
●
To avoid the water level dropping
below ‘Min’, you can top up during
cooking. Simply add water via the
exterior fill funnel, taking care not to
overfill.
3 Sit the drip tray onto the base
making sure the handles fit over the
grooves in the base.
4 Fit the removable trays, rim
uppermost into their corresponding
basket rings - both parts are
numbered to assist with this.
5 Place the disc in the centre of tray 2.
6 Add the food, then stack the
baskets on the base, starting with
the lowest numbered basket at the
bottom and the highest number at
the top ᕡ.
using the rice bowl
●
Put water and rice in the rice bowl.
Put the rice bowl into a basket. (You
can also cook something in the
other baskets if required).
7 Fit the lid, plug in. The whole display
will illuminate and the buzzer will
sound. (Should the display fail to
illuminate press the ‘START’ button.)
to select from the menu
Press the ‘MENU’ button, and each
time the button is pressed the menu
will scroll around to display a pre-set
time and suggested usage. The
choices are as follows:- 10 minutes
‘KEEP WARM’, then to cook the
following, shellfish 10 minutes, eggs
12 minutes, fish 15 minutes,
vegetables 20 minutes, chicken
portions 35 minutes and rice 40
minutes. Once the time is displayed
on the menu it can if necessary be
adjusted higher or lower using the
‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons. Once the desired
time has been selected press the
‘START’ (I) button.
To stop the steaming process press
and hold down the ‘STOP’ (O)
button.
to select a time
To select a time different to the
displayed time of 45 minutes, press
the ‘+’ or ‘-’ buttons to increase or
decrease the time. When the desired
time is displayed, press the ‘START’
button and the steamer will switch
on and the cook symbol will flash.
