APPLIANCE ASSEMBLY
ATTENTION: Before using the appliance, it is recommended to wash all removable parts that
will be in contact with food using water and common dish detergent.
- Fill the tank (E) with water up to the “MAX” mark shown on the indicator (F) and the steam tube (D)
on the heating element (I) with the “UP” mark facing upwards (Fig. 2).
- Put the tray (C) on the appliance body (L) (Fig. 3). The tray can be positioned only in one direction,
in order to avoid the food liquids from reaching the heating element (I) and the tank (E).
- On the baskets handles (B) are the numerical indications “1”, “2” and “3”. Position the basket (B)
marked “1” on the tray (D) first (Fig. 4).
- According to the amount of food to be cooked, it is possible to use 1, 2 or 3 baskets at a time. Position
EN
- 3 -
any other basket on the one marked “1” always following the numerical order (Fig. 5).
- Position the lid (A) on the last basket (Fig. 6).
ATTENTION:
Water poured in the tank (E) will suffice for about 60 minutes of steam cooking, enough for
most foods.
Do not add other liquids into water. The seasonings, the marinade sauce, etc. must not be
added to cooking water but to food. These would not disperse with the steam but would sim-
ply concentrate in the tank, damaging its surfaces and the heating element.
The lid (A) must be always inserted into its place during steam cooking.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
- Plug in appliance.
- Rotate the timer knob (H) clockwise to set the necessary cooking time. The light (G) will go on and
the steam will start filling the baskets (B).
- When the timer returns to the position “0”, an acoustic signal will beep and the appliance will turn
off. To stop cooking before the timer has elapsed, unplug the appliance.
- During use, check the water level so that it does not exceed the “MAX” mark shown on the indi-
cator (F). Should it be necessary to add water, slowly pour it into the tank (E) through the side
openings of the tray (C).
- After each use, unplug the appliance.
- Remove the lid (A) and the baskets (B), by placing them on plates or a tray.
- Remove the tray (C) with care; the liquids will be hot and may stain if they splash.
- Empty the tank (E) using the openings on the sides.
ATTENTION:
Be very careful when removing the baskets. Do not remove all baskets at a time. Remove one
basket at a time starting from the top. Use the oven gloves or similar to protect against burn
that may be caused by the hot steam.
HOW TO COOK RICE
- Add dried rice and water into the bowl (M) according to the proportion indicated on the package.
- Place the rice bowl (M) into the lower basket (B) marked “1” for the steam cooking (Fig. 7).
- Put the lid (A) on the basket (B) for the steam cooking.
- Plug in appliance and rotate the timer knob (I) clockwise to set the necessary cooking time.
ATTENTION:
The rice cooking lasts 15 - 20 minutes, according to the type, amount and the personal taste.
By putting the rice under other foods, the liquids of the latter would modify the taste of the
rice and the additional liquid could melt it to a pulp.

NO MORE WATER IN THE TANK
- In case there is no more water in the tank (E), the thermostat would cut off power to the heating
element (I). The light (G) would go off, but the timer (H) would continue working. The thermostat
would go on and off periodically until water is added or until the timer reaches the “0” position and
turn off.
- Disconnect the base plug and allow the appliance to cool down for a couple of minutes, fill the tank
(E) with water and then start again.
ATTENTION:
When calculating the necessary cooking time, consider the time already elapsed and a part
of the time between the end of water and the restart, as the cooking process does not stop
immediately but when the tank remain empty.
TIPS, SUGGESTIONS AND FOOD SAFETY
- Do not worry about cooking food too much: the steam cooking is a quite delicate method and in
general a few more minutes are of little importance.
- To allow the steam circulation:
a) Put food into baskets without pressing;
b) If possible, place food in one only layer;
c) Leave some space between the pieces of food;
d) When putting food into the basket in layers, leave some space among pieces of each layer to allow
the circulation of steam through them.
- Cut food in a uniform manner to obtain a smoother steam cooking.
- Mix food at the halfway through steam cycle to obtain a more uniform steaming.
- Foods that require longer cooking times must be positioned on the bottom baskets.
- Put the foods requiring a delicate steam cooking or shorter cooking times into the top baskets.
- Use the rice bowl to cook all foods with sauce or liquid.
- The liquids of poultry or fish could drip and alter flavours. To avoid the above, wrap them in alu-
minium foil.
- Steam mussels until the shell is completely open and throw away the ones that are still closed after
cooking.
- Cook the meat, poultry, and derivatives (minced meat, hamburger, etc.) until the liquids that come
out are transparent. Cook the fish until it is completely opaque inside.
- The leafy vegetables must be cooked as less as possible to remain green and crispy. By immers-
ing them in icy water the cooking process would be stopped.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down before cleaning or store it.
- Use a damp, clean cloth to clean the internal and external side of the appliance body.
- The lid (A), the baskets (B), the rice bowl (M), the tray (C), and the steam tube (D) must be washed
by hand with hot water and mild detergent.

WARNING:
The removable parts can be put also in the dishwasher; anyway, using the dishwasher may
alter the surface finishing. The damage would have to be only aesthetic and would not have
to modify the appliance operation.
DECALCIFICATION OF THE STEAM COOKER
The mineral deposits may affect the appliance operation over time. It is advisable to remove these
deposits (or decalcify) every 3 months.
- Prepare about 1 litre of descaling solution by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Pour the
solution into the water tank (E).
- Assemble the appliance completely using just one basket (B).
- Operate the appliance for 25 minutes.
- Disconnect the appliance and leave it to cool completely.
- Let the descaling solution out.
- Repeat the above operations using only water. Repeat until all traces of descaling solution are
removed.
- Wash the removable parts with hot water and detergent or in the top part of the dishwasher.
