Topping up the water
If the water level on water level indicator 12
drops below the MIN marking during oper-
ation, you must top up the water so that the
appliance does not run dry and overheat.
1. Put clean drinking water in a suitable
pouring vessel.
2. Figure B: Pour the water through the
filling opening in handles 6 in bottom
part 9.

Ending operation
DANGER! Risk of injury
through scalding!
The condensate in collector 5 is hot. Al-
low it to cool down before you take out
collector 5, so that you do not acciden-
tally scald yourself.
1. Once the set cooking time has elapsed,
an alarm sounds and the appliance
switches off.
2. If you want to switch off the appliance
before the set cooking time has
elapsed, turn time selector 10 to "0".
3. Wait briefly until the steam in the appli-
ance has dissipated.
4. Remove steamer baskets 3 with the
cooked food.
5. Clean the appliance carefully after use
(see "Cleaning and storing" on
page 17).

Thermal cut-out
The appliance is protected against overheat-
ing. As soon as all the water in bottom
part 9 has gone, making the temperature
too high, the appliance switches off auto-
matically.
• In this case, pull out the power supply
plug 14 and allow the device to cool.
• You can then run the appliance again
with water in it.
7. Hints on cooking
with the steamer
DANGER! Risk of injury
through scalding!
Do not lean over the steam cooker ...
... when you open the lid 1 and the
contents are still hot, and
... when hot steam is coming out of the
steam vents 16.
Steaming is one of the healthiest ways of
cooking food. Not only are the nutrients and
colour of foods largely retained, the natural
flavour and bite of food cooked this way
make it a pleasure to eat. This means that
salt, fat and seasoning can be used sparing-
ly. Steaming is thus especially recommend-
ed for the preparation of baby food.
7.1
Using steamer baskets
Depending on requirements, 1, 2 or all 3
steamer baskets 3 can be used.
The steamer baskets 3 are different sizes
and numbered. The relevant number 15 is
on the handle of the steamer basket 3.
Order from top to bottom: steamer basket 3
on top of steamer basket 2, steamer
basket 2 on top of steamer basket 1. Steam-
er basket 3 cannot be directly placed on top
of steamer basket 1.
