Boiling Dry:
 In the event of boil-dry occurring the thermostat will cut off power to the element,
but the light will remain on.
 The thermostat will cycle on and off until you remember to add water, or until the
timer returns to 0 and switches off.
 Unplug the base unit, let it cool for a couple of minutes, then fill up with boiling
water and start again.
 When calculating the time needed, allow for the whole of the time to already
spent steaming, and part of the time between running dry and restarting, as the
cooking process won’t have stopped immediately the reservoir ran dry.
Stopping early:
 To stop the cooking process, turn the knob anti-clockwise to 0.
 Remember everything will be hot. Use potholders and take care.
Emptying:
1. Make sure the timer is turned to 0, and then unplug the base unit from the power
socket (switch the socket off first).
2. Everything will be hot - use potholders or a cloth – use the handles.
3. Steam will escape from the baskets – keep hands, face, etc. away from the area
above the steam.
4. When you lift the lid, angle it to direct steam away from your body.
5. Lift the baskets off and set them down on plates or a tray before serving.
6. Take care when removing the diffuser – apart from being very hot, the juices are
likely to stain if split,
7. Leave any water remaining in the reservoir to cool, and then pour it out via the
Water Filling Device. Keep the mains lead out of the way so it doesn’t get wet
Overcooking:
 Don’t worry too much about overcooking – steaming is relatively gentle cooking
method and a few minutes extra generally won’t matter.
 Don’t overcook fish though it will loose it’s taste.
