STEAMING

Pour the desired amount of water into the cooking pot. The amount of water determines the
cooking time for steaming. (See table below)
Put the food in the steamer basket and place this on top of the cooking pot.
The vegetables should be washed and peeled first.
Place the lid on top, put the On/Off switch into the "I" position and press the control switch on
the front of the unit to swap between cook and warm until the red indicator light for the 'cook'
function is lit.
When the water has evaporated, the appliance will automatically switch to "Warm" and the
indicator light will turn on. Use oven gloves to lift the steamer basket. It is possible to steam food
while cooking rice. This does require keeping an eye on the food.
Steaming table
The amount of water in the cooking pot determines the cooking time. As a guide, for 160 ml
water, the cooking time will be about 30 minutes, for 80 ml, it will be 15 minutes, etc.
