Season food after cooking,
this will help to prevent spots
or pitting occurring on the
stainless bowl.
1 Place the removable tray on a
flat surface ensuring that the
handles are folded inwards.
2 Fit the supporting ring onto
the tray ensuring that the
handle supports on the ring
fit next to the V shaped cut
outs in the tray.
3 Fold out the handles and clip
onto the handle supports.
4 Place the food to be cooked
onto the tray. Vegetables
should be thoroughly cleaned
and peeled as required.
5 Add the required amount
of water to the bowl (see
cooking chart). Filtered water
is best as it reduces limescale
and spotting.
6 Place the assembled steamer
into the bowl – it will find its
own height.
7 Fit the heatshield to the mixer
head.
8 Fit the bowl and steamer
basket to the Cooking Chef.
9 Lower the mixer head and
then fit the splashguard.
Select the Steam programme
and set the countdown timer
to the required cooking time
(see cooking chart).

on the display screen.

time.

Hints
Liquid left in the bowl is
good for making soup or
stock. But be careful it will
be very hot.
Leave gaps between pieces
of food.
Stir large amounts half way
through cooking.
Similar sized pieces of food
cook more evenly.
If steaming more than 1 type
of food, if something needs
less time, add it later.
If you lift the feed chute lid
or remove the splashguard,
steam will escape and
cooking may take longer.
Food will continue cooking
when your Cooking Chef
switches off, so remove food
immediately.
If your food's not cooked
enough, reset the time. You
may need to top up with
water.
The cooking times are a
guide only. Always check
that food is thoroughly
cooked before eating.
Do not allow the unit to boil
dry, top up with water as
necessary.
