With 1 litre of water, you can steam food for around 30 minutes. With more water, you can
steam for longer. But you should not use more than 2.5 litres of water as this could splash onto
the food as it boils.
In order to top up the water, open the glass lid (1), pointing it away from you so that the
steam does not come towards you and burn you. When you pour in the new water, make sure
it does not go onto the food. Then close the glass lid (1) again. It can take a while for the
water to boil again and create steam.
4. Place the steam insert (12) into the cooking bowl (5). To do it, twist it so that the four catches engage
into the recesses on the top edge of the cooking bowl (5).
5. Twist the temperature controller (11) to position 4 to start the heating process. The green "Heating
off" indicator (10) goes out and the red heating indicator (9) comes on.
Risk of burns!
The glass lid (1), steam insert (12) and cooking bowl (5) get very hot when the multi-cooker is
in use. Be careful not to burn yourself. Wear oven gloves if necessary.
6. Wait until sufficient steam is rising (this is not shown on the 'Heating off' indicator (10) in this case). If
you have put in 1 litre of water, this takes around 5 minutes.
7. Place the food on the steam insert (12).
8. Close the glass lid (1).

Where possible, you should keep the glass lid (1) closed throughout the steaming
process. Every time you open it, a lot of steam escapes. On the one hand, this increases
the cooking time, and it also means that you may have to top up the water before the
cooking process is complete.

Foam can form if you are preparing food containing fat or protein. In this case, adjust the
temperature controller (11) down to level 1 to 2. This allows you to continue steaming
the food without too much foam forming.
