• This machine produces steam which
can burn you.
• Don't get burnt by steam coming
out of your steamer, especially when
removing the lid.
• Be careful when handling anything:
any liquid or condensation will be
very hot. Use oven gloves.
• Don't let children or infirm people
use the steamer without supervision.
• Never let the cord hang down where
a child could grab it.
• Never use a damaged steamer. Get
it checked or repaired: see 'service
and customer care'.
• Never put the steamer, cord or plug
in water - you could get an electric
shock. Keep the controls clean and
dry.
• Never put your steamer on a cooker
or in an oven.
• Never move your steamer if it
contains anything hot.
• Don’t let children play with this
appliance.

intended domestic use.
food safety

thoroughly. And never cook them
from frozen.
• If you're using more than one
basket, put meat, poultry and fish in
the bottom basket so that its raw
juice cannot drip onto food below.
before plugging in
• Make sure your electricity supply is
the same as the one shown on the
underside of your steamer.
• This steamer complies with
European Economic Community
Directive 89/336/EEC.

• Your steamer may be supplied with 2
or 3 baskets depending upon the
model purchased.
to use your steamer
•
Keep your steamer away from walls
and overhanging cupboards: the
steam could damage them.
• Season food after cooking. If
seasoning gets into the water, it
could damage the heating element.
•
See the cooking guides on pages 4
and 5.
1 Fit the strainer inside the water tank.
(It stops bits getting into the
element.)
2 Pour cold water into the tank.
Always make sure the water is
between the ‘Min’ and ‘Max’ levels
marked. (When filled to ‘Max’, this
will produce steam for approximately
45-50 minutes.)
• Filtered water is best as it reduces
limescale prolonging the life and
efficiency of your steamer (Kenwood
water filters are widely available).
• Don't add anything (even salt or
pepper) to the water - it could
damage the heating element.
