Using the steaming rack
The steaming rack can be used for steaming
vegetables such as asparagus, corn and
carrots or used to steam Asian dumplings and
gow gees.
1. Using the measuring cup, measure the
amount of water required and pour into the
heating vessel. Use cold tap water.
2. Position the egg rack over the heating
vessel.
3. Place the steam rack onto the egg rack.
4. Place the desired foods onto the steam
rack. Place cover on.
Important: Ensure the steam vent faces away
from you.
5. Insert the 3 pin plug into a 230-240 volt
AC power outlet and turn the power on.
6. To commence turn the dial to 'cook' or to
'cook ' if you wish the buzzer to sound
when cooking has completed.
Suggested foods and preparation
For steamed asparagus, a maximum of one
bunch is recommended. Trim ends to fit.
Use setting as a guide – depending on
the thickness of the asparagus; more or less
water should be used.
For steaming Asian dumplings and gow gees,
fill steaming tray but do not stack. Use the
setting – depending on the thickness of
the food; more or less water should be used.
For steamed corn cut into cobbettes. Use the
setting as a guide.
For other vegetables, cut into even size
chunks, the harder the vegetable the smaller
the pieces should be. Use the setting
as a guide.
Note: If the appliance completes the cooking
cycle but the food is not cooked to taste,
simply add a little more cold water and
restart the cooking process.
Care and cleaning
After each use
Turn the power off and unplug from the
power outlet.
To clean the plastic parts
Wash the cover, egg rack, poaching trays and
steaming rack in warm soapy water, rinse and
dry thoroughly.
Note: Do not clean any parts in a dishwasher
as the high temperatures reached may distort
the plastic.
To clean the heating vessel
Wipe over with a damp cloth. Do not use
harsh abrasives as these will scratch the non-
stick surface.
After cleaning the heating vessel, rub a small
amount of vegetable or cooking oil into the
non-stick surface. This allows easier removal
of mineral deposits that exist normally in
water.
Important: Do not immerse the unit in water
or any other liquid.
Care is required when handling the egg
piercer on the measuring cup.
