Operation

Before first use

Bear in mind the following instructions before
steaming for the first time:

possible that too much or too little steam will be
produced.
‒ Extra steam may emerge from the appliance during

boiling point calibration.

‒ Do not interrupt boiling point calibration and do not
open the glass cover. The appliance must steam for
30 minutes.
Boiling point calibration
The boiling point is dependent on air pressure. As air
pressure drops with increasing elevation, the boiling
point drops as well.
Before steaming with the steamer for the first time, you
have to calibrate the boiling point. You must repeat
boiling point calibration after moving to a new location.
The steamer then adapts to the air pressure at its
installation site.
Calibrating the boiling point
1 Fill the cooking basin with cold water up to
minimum mark. Fit the glass cover.
2 Turn the temperature control knob to the 200°F
(95°C) position.
