starchy foods, heat may not dissipate
evenly. To ensure food safety, stir the
contents of thicker dishes every 40 to
60 minutes.

reminder, the reminder timer begins to
count down.

Steam (non-pressurised)
The Steam programme works in 2 ways: like a standard hob steamer, boiling liquid
to cook food with hot steam, and, as a sanitisation chamber for glass and plastics.
Note: please refer to manufacturer's instructions on the time and temperature for
sanitisation.
Instant Tip: When steaming, use the multi-functional rack to keep food out of the
boiling liquid.
