Important safety

instructions

The use of any electrical appliance

requires the following of basic common

sense safety rules.

Primarily there is danger of injury or

death and secondly the danger of damage

to the appliance. These are indicated in the

text by the following two conventions:

WARNING: Danger to the person!

IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance!

In addition we offer the following essential

safety advice.

Your safety

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use oven

gloves or a cloth when removing the lid

or handling hot containers as hot steam

will escape.

• To protect against fire, electric shock and

personal injury do not immerse cord,

plugs, or appliance in water or other

liquid.

• Unplug from the socket when not in use,

before putting on or taking off

attachments, and before cleaning.

• Do not operate any appliance with a

damaged lead or plug, or after an

appliance has malfunctioned, or has

been dropped or damaged in any way.

Contact Morphy Richards for advice on

examination, repair or electrical or

mechanical adjustment.

• Do not fill above the maximum level. If the

steamer is overfilled, boiling water may

be ejected which can scald.

Location

• Do not use outdoors.

• Ensure that this appliance is situated out

of reach of children.

• Do not place directly under kitchen wall

cupboards when in use as it produces

large amounts of steam. Avoid reaching

over the steamer when in use.

Mains lead

• The mains lead should reach from the

socket to the base unit without straining

the connections.

• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of

the table or counter and keep it away

from any hot surfaces.

• Do not let the lead run across an open

space e.g. between a low socket and

table.

Children

• Never allow a child to operate this

appliance. Teach children to be aware of

dangers in the kitchen, warn them of the

dangers of reaching up to areas where

they cannot see properly or should not

be reaching.

Other safety

considerations

• Do not use attachments or tools not

recommended by Morphy Richards this

may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

• Extreme caution must be used when

moving the steamer when containing hot

food, water, or other hot liquids.

microwave or on any cooking/heated

surfaces.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or

electric burner, or in a heated oven.

• Do not leave it in a damp and corrosive

environment.

• Do not switch the steamer on unless it

contains at least 1 cup of water, otherwise

the steamer may be damaged.

• Always make sure the water does not fall

below the minimum level.

Before use

Before using your steamer for the first

time, wash all parts except the main unit.

Using

1Fill the water reservoir with pure water to

the maximum level.

• Do not use broth or other liquids. Do not

add anything to the water in the reservoir.

The system is designed for use with cold

water only, do not use hot water.

2Put the mantle around the heater.

3Fit the drip tray. The drip tray is used to

collect juices so they can be used for

gravies, sauces, soup or stock, etc.

4Fit the bungs to the holes in the centre of

the tier bottoms when the steam tube is

not being used.

5Place food into the steaming bowls.

According to the amount and kind of

foods to be cooked, you can use one,

two or three bowls as they stack up on

the top of each other.

6Place the lid on the upper steaming bowl.

7Plug into the electrical socket.

8Refer to the cooking guide and adjust the

timer for the desired cooking time, the

on/off light will glow. Steaming will begin.

9After the set time the on/off light will go

out, the bell will ring and the steamer will

switch off automatically. Using oven

gloves or a cloth promptly remove the

steaming bowls.

• Do not remove the drip tray until it has

cooled completely.

Configurations

Single bowl

Use one bowl for steaming one type of

food such as peeled potatoes. Take care to

arrange the food so that some of the holes in

the bottom of the bowl remain clear, allowing

proper steam to flow.

Two bowls

Always place the largest pieces of food

with the longest cooking time in the lower

steaming bowl. Place different foods in the

upper and lower bowls, but as condensation

will drip from the upper bowl be sure the

flavours complement each other.

If steaming meat, fish or poultry together

with vegetables, always place the meat, fish

or poultry in the lower bowl so that juices

from the raw meat cannot drip onto other

foods.

Three bowls

Always place the largest pieces of food

with the longest cooking time in the lower

steaming bowl.

Steaming times for food in the upper

bowl are usually slightly longer so allow an

extra 3-5 minutes due to a large volume of

food being cooked and due to extra time

being needed to reach temperature.

FS 48770 rev 1 20/8/03 3:56 pm Page 5

If foods with different cooking times are

being steamed start the food with the

longest cooking time in the lower bowl. If

steaming meat, fish or poultry together with

vegetables, always place the meat, fish or

poultry in the lower bowl so that juices from

raw or partially cooked meat cannot drip

onto other foods.

Steam tube usage

• To equalise cooking times in all tiers, use

the steam tube.

• Only use when you want to steam a large

quantity of 1 type of food.

1If bungs are fitted in the bottom of the

tiers, these must be removed.

2Put the mantle around the heater.

3Fit the drip tray.

4Fit the steaming tube to the drip tray (as

shown in the diagram).

5Place the bottom tier over the steam tube

and align the tube to the hole in the

bottom of the tier.

6Arrange the food within the tier.

7Fit the other tiers in the same way.

8Refer to the cooking guide and set the

timer for the desired time.

9After the set time the bell will ring and the

steamer will switch off automatically.

10 Using oven gloves or a cloth promptly

remove the steaming bowls.

Refilling reservoir

If steaming for a long period it may be

necessary to add extra water.

Fill with water through the ‘add water

hole’ by using a suitable filling jug.

Cooking rice

The steamer comes with a container that

allows you to cook rice to perfection.

1Add rice and water to the rice bowl in

equal proportions.

2Place the rice bowl with rice and water

into a steaming tray, without steam tube

fitted.

3Proceed as described previously for

steaming.

Useful hints and tips

• Always ensure meat is placed below other

food types.

• Steaming times stated in the cooking

guide are only a guide. Times may vary

depending on size of the food pieces,

spacing of the food in the steamer bowl,

quantity of food, freshness of food and

personal preference. As you become

familiar with the steamer, adjust the

cooking times as necessary.

• A single bowl of food steams faster than

with 2 or 3 bowls in use. Therefore, the

cooking time for a larger quantity of food

will be longer.

• For best results, be sure pieces of food

are similar in size. If pieces vary in size

and layering is required, place smaller

pieces on top.

• Do not crowd food in the steaming bowl

or rice bowl. Arrange the food with

spaces between pieces to allow for

maximum steam flow.

• Always use the drip tray to prevent drips

splashing.

• Never steam meat, poultry or seafood

from frozen. Always completely thaw first.

FS 48770 rev 1 20/8/03 3:56 pm Page 6

Cooking guide

• The cooking times shown below are only

a guide and should be adjusted

according to suit your tastes.

• While the majority of foods cook in less

than 75 minutes, longer cooking times

may require adding additional water to

the water reservoir. Follow refill

instructions. Remember to reset the timer

as the steamer will switch off when the

timer runs out.

Food type Bottom bowl Middle bowl Top bowl Any tier with

Care and cleaning

WARNING: Allow steamer to cool

before washing. Turn timer to off and

unplug from the mains socket.

Bowls, lid and drip tray

The bowls, lid and drip tray may be

washed in a dishwasher (top rack only).

Alternatively, wash in hot soapy water, rinse

and dry thoroughly. Prolonged dishwasher

use could discolour these parts.

Steamer base

The steamer base may be wiped with a

clean, damp cloth. Wipe dry with a soft

cloth. Do not place in a dishwasher as it may

get damaged.

Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean

any part of the steamer.

WARNING: Do not immerse the

steamer base, cord or plug in water or in

any other liquid.

Descaling

Occasionally, you may need to remove

mineral deposits (known as descaling) from

the steaming system. This is normal and will

depend on the degree of hardness of the

water in your area. If you notice a slowing in

steam production or a lengthening of

steaming times, you should descale the

steaming system.

1Fill the water reservoir half full with clear,

white vinegar.

2Place the drip tray, lower the steaming

bowl and lid onto the steamer base.

3Set the timer for 25 minutes to begin

steaming. Allow the steamer to operate

until the bell rings.

4Allow the steamer to cool completely.

5Empty the vinegar from the drip tray.

6Empty any remaining vinegar in the water

reservoir.

7Rinse the water reservoir several times

with cold water.

8Allow all parts to dry completely before

storing.
