• Place the pedestal on a stable table-board. Make sure that all items likely to be damaged by steam are
removed. Keep the steamer out of children's reach.
• Pour the required quantity of cold tap water into the reservoir (consult the cooking guide). Do not exceed
the maximum level (refer to the markings on the inside of the reservoir). Do not put anything in the
reservoir. Do not use wine, meat of vegetable stock or any other liquid.
• Place the food in the steam bowl. Do not add herbs or spices before the end of cooking.
• Place the lid on the steam bowl. Ensure that the handles of the lid are perfectly in line with the handles of
the steam bowl. Do not overfill the steam bowl, thereby blocking the holes in the lid (the steam must be
able to circulate and escape freely.)
• Put the steam bowl on the base. Plug the steam cooker in.
• In most cases, the water poured into the reservoir will be sufficient to cook the food. If necessary due to
personal taste or if some foods require a longer cooking time, water may be added to the reservoir and the
vaporization process continued by following the instructions.
• Once cooking is complete, unplug the cooker. Remove the steam bowl carefully. Gently lift off the lid to
avoid burning yourself (steam can cause burns).

containers in the lower positions.
