Operation

Before first use

Please observe the following notes before steaming
for the first time:
1 Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories.
2 The appliance must be calibrated before first-time
operation.
Note: Failure to adjust the boiling point before
steaming may result in malfunctions. The steamer
might produce too much or too little steam.
3 After calibration, fill the cooking basin up to the
boil-over ledge with water. Heat up the appliance on
the steaming setting for 30 minutes. This will
eliminate any 'newness' smells. Drain the water and
thoroughly dry the cooking basin.

Boiling point detection

The boiling point depends on the air pressure. The
higher the altitude, the lower the air pressure, and also
the boiling point.
The boiling point must be calibrated before steaming for
the first time. During calibration, the appliance is
adjusted to the pressure of the altitude where the
appliance is installed.
