[. . . ] When steaming is complete, the timer will give a single ring and the cook indicator light will go out. The appliance switches off automatically. WARNING: to prevent burns, always use oven gloves or a cloth when removing the lid or steaming bowls as hot steam will escape. Remove the lid slowly with the inside of lid pointing away from you and let the steam escape gradually. Hold lid over unit to allow the condensation to drain into the steamer. [. . . ] Steaming times for food in the upper trays are usually slightly longer so allow an extra 5 minutes. If foods with different cooking times are being steamed, start the food with the longest cooking time in the lower tray. Then when the remaining steaming time reaches that of food with the shortest cooking time, carefully remove the lid with oven gloves and place the next tray containing the food to be cooked on top. Unplug at the wall socket and leave the appliance to cool completely before cleaning. Do not clean clear plastic bowls and baskets with the abrasive pad of a cleaning sponge. We recommend washing the lid, rice bowl, baskets and drip tray in hot water and washing-up liquid. The transparent plastic parts may dull with time if they are regularly washed in a dishwasher. DESCALING THE WATER BASIN After 7 to 10 uses in hard water areas, scale deposits may build up on the heating element. This is a normal process and the build-up will depend on the degree of water hardness in your area. It is essential the appliance be descaled regularly to maintain steam production and extend the life of the unit. 1. Fill the water container and the heating element compartment with white vinegar or vinegar water up to the maximum mark. Drip tray, baskets, lid and rice bowl are not used during this procedure. Warning: if vinegar begins to boil over the edge of base, unplug and switch off timer. 4. When timer rings, unplug from the wall socket and allow to cool completely before pouring out the vinegar. 5. Rinse the water basin several times with cold water.
