Caution:Always take care when lifting
the steamer bowls and juice collection
tray, as the steam and water condensation
can cause burns.
Note:The large (3-litre) bowl must be used if you
are steaming in only one bowl and the smaller
bowl can be added during the steaming process
when food needs less steaming time. Heavier foods
or foods that take longer to cook should be placed
on the lower steamer basket as this gets a higher
concentration of steam.
Pour water into the water reservoir, up to
the maximum marking “HI FILL” found on
the inside of the water reservoir. If you
are cooking for a long period of time
ensure that the water level does not fall
below the minimum “LO FILL” mark.
Switch off at the power outlet and then
unplug, allow the Kambrook Ezy-Steam to
cool down before cleaning.
During cooking avoid unnecessary
removing of the lid and steamer baskets,
as steam will escape.
