2 Put the food to be steamed on a plate or in the steam tray.
To ensure even steaming, spread out the food evenly and do not pile it up.
3 Put the steam tray in the inner pot.
When you combine steaming and rice cooking, make sure you measure out
an amount of rice that leaves enough room for the steam tray. The steamed
food will be ready when the rice cooking process is nished.
4 If you use a separate plate, put it in the steam tray.
5 Follow steps 7 to 10 in section ‘Cooking rice’.
, The cook light goes on and the steaming process starts.
, The steamed food is ready when the rice cooking process is nished.
6 Open the lid and carefully remove the steamed food from the plate
or steam tray. Use a kitchen glove or a cloth, as the plate and the
steam tray are very hot.
Beware of the hot steam.
7 To end the steaming process, pull up the control lever, switch off the
mains and remove the mains plug from the wall socket (Fig. 9).
Keeping warm
This mode allows you to keep your rice warm for a longer period of time.
When the rice cooking process is nished, the rice cooker automatically
switches to the keep-warm mode. The cook light goes out and the keep-
warm light goes on.
We advise you to keep rice warm for not more than 12 hours so as to
preserve its taste.
The cook light may go on occasionally to indicate that the temperature
inside the rice cooker has become too low and the heating element
has switched on to heat up the rice cooker to the right keep-warm
temperature.
To end the keep-warm mode, pull up the control lever, switch off the mains
and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
Cleaning
Unplug the rice cooker before you clean it.
Wait until the rice cooker has cooled down sufciently before you clean
it.
To protect the non-stick coating of the inner pot, do not:
- use the inner pot for washing dishes;
- put vinegar in the pot.
1 Take the steam tray and the inner pot out of the body of the
appliance.
