Before first use 1 Thoroughly clean the parts that come into contact with food before you use the appliance for the first time (see chapter `Cleaning'). Wipe the inside of the water tank with a damp cloth. 8 EnglisH Preparing for use 1 Put the appliance on a stable, horizontal and level surface. Fill the water tank with water up to the maximum level through the water inlet (Fig. 2). Only fill the water tank with water. Never put seasoning, oil, or other substances in the water tank. Place the drip tray on the water tank in the base (Fig. 3). Note: Never use the appliance without the drip tray. If desired, put dried or fresh herbs or spices on the flavour booster to add extra flavour to the food to be steamed (Fig. 4). Thyme, coriander, basil, dill, curry and tarragon are some of the exciting herbs and spices that you can put on the flavour booster. You can combine them with garlic, caraway or horseradish to enhance flavour without adding salt. We advise you to use 1/2 to 3tsp of dried herbs or spices. Use more if you use fresh herbs or spices. For suggested herbs or spices for various types of food, see the food steaming table in chapter `Food table and steaming tips'. Tip: If you use ground herbs or spices, rinse the drip tray to wet the flavour booster.This prevents ground herbs or spices from falling through the openings of the flavour booster (Fig. 5). 5 Put the food to be steamed in one or more steaming bowls and/or in the soup/rice bowl. If you use more than one steaming bowl, always install the removable trays in one direction. Make sure the removable trays in steam bowls 2 or 3 lock in position (`click') before use (Fig. 6). Do not put too much food in the steaming bowls. Arrange the food with ample space between the pieces to allow maximum steam flow. - Always place meat and poultry in the bottom steaming bowl, so that juices from raw or partially cooked meat or poultry cannot drip onto other foods. - Place larger pieces of food and food that require a longer steaming time in the bottom steaming bowl. - Put eggs on the egg holders to steam eggs conveniently (Fig. 7). 6 Put one or more steaming bowls on the drip tray. If you want to use the soup/rice bowl, place it in the top steaming bowl. Make sure you place the bowls properly and that they do not wobble (Fig. 8). - You do not have to use all 3 steaming bowls. - The steaming bowls are numbered. You find the number on the handle.The top steaming bowl is no. 3, The middle steaming bowl is no. 2 and the bottom steaming bowl is no. 1. - Only stack the steaming bowls in the following order: steaming bowl 1, steaming bowl 2, steaming bowl 3. - The soup/rice bowl is intended for steaming rice, soup or other liquid food. When you want to use the soup/rice bowl, put it in the top steaming bowl. - If you steam large quantities of food, stir the food halfway through the steaming process. Wear oven mitts and use a kitchen utensil with a long handle. - Food in the top bowl takes usually a little longer to steam than food in the lower bowls. - If you want to steam foods that require different steaming times, set the timer to the longest steaming time. Put the food with the longest steaming time in bowl 1. Steam until the remaining steaming time on the display is equal to the shortest steaming time. Then carefully remove the lid with oven mitts and place bowl 2 containing the ingredients with the shorter steaming time on top of bowl 1. Put the lid on bowl 2 and continue steaming until the set steaming time has elapsed. - If you want to steam large size food (e.g. corn cobs, yams). You can remove the trays from steam bowls 2 and/or 3 to maximise the space of steaming (Fig. 9). EnglisH When steaming is finished use a kitchen utensil with a long handles to remove the food from the steaming bowl. If both trays are removed, you can still place a rice bowl to prepare rice or soup. If only tray 2 is removed, you can still place steam bowl 3 on top. 7 Put the lid on the top steaming bowl (Fig. 10).
