Operation

Before first use

Bear in mind the following instructions before
steaming for the first time:
1 Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories.
2 When setting it up, a boiling point calibration
must be carried out.
Note: Steaming without first conducting the
boiling point calibration can cause the appliance
to malfunction. It is possible that too much or too
little steam is produced.
3 After the boiling point calibration, fill the cooking
basin with water up to the overflow edge and run
the appliance at steam cooking level for
30 minutes to eliminate potential smells of
newness. Drain the water and thoroughly dry the
cooking basin.

Boiling point calibration

The boiling point is dependent upon air pressure. Since air pressure drops with increasing elevation, the
boiling point drops as well.
Before steaming with the steamer for the first time,
you have to conduct a boiling point calibration. The
steamer then adapts to the air pressure of the
installation site.
Conducting the boiling point calibration
1 Fill cooking basin with cold water up to minimum
mark. Put on glass cover.
2 Turn temperature control knob to 200°F position.
3 Within 5 seconds: Turn the same temperature
control knob back and forth two times between
the ¥ and 200°F positions. Then turn the
temperature control knob to the ¥ position.
The [ symbol blights during the boiling point
calibration. As soon as the [ symbol stops blinking,
the boiling point calibration is finished. It normally
takes between 3 and 7 minutes.
Note: Extra steam may be produced during the boiling
point calibration.
