Keep your steamer away from walls  
and overhanging cupboards: the  
steam could damage them.

seasoning gets into the water, it  
Cook meat, fish and seafood  
thoroughly. And never cook them  
from frozen.  
If you're using more than one  
basket, put meat, poultry and fish in

1 Fit the strainer inside the water tank.  
(It stops bits getting into the  
element.)  
2 Pour cold water into the tank.  
Always make sure the water is  
between the ‘Min’ and ‘Max’ levels  
marked. (When filled to ‘Max’, this  
will produce steam for approximately  
45-50 minutes.)

Filtered water is best as it reduces  
limescale prolonging the life and  
efficiency of your steamer (Kenwood  
water filters are widely available).  
Don't add anything (even salt or  
pepper) to the water – it could  
damage the heating element.  
To avoid the water level dropping  
below ‘Min’, you can top up during  
cooking. Simply add water via the  
exterior fill funnel, taking care not to  
overfill.  
Smaller amounts cook faster than  
larger amounts.  
Similar-sized pieces of food cook  
evenly.  
Like a conventional oven, you can  
add food as you go along. If  
something needs less time, add it  
later.  
If you lift the lid, steam will escape  
and cooking will take longer.  
Food will keep cooking when your  
steamer switches off, so remove it  
immediately.

3 Sit the drip tray inside the base.

The cooking times on pages 5 - 6  
are guides based on using the lower  
basket. The higher the food is, the  
slower it cooks. So allow an extra  
5 - 10 minutes for food in the next  
basket above. Check that food is  
thoroughly cooked before eating.  
If your food's not cooked enough,  
reset the time. You may need to top  
up with water.  
using the rice bowl  
Put water and rice in the rice bowl.  
G
Put the rice bowl into a basket. (You  
can also cook something in the  
other basket(s) if required).  
4 Stack the baskets on the base,  
starting with the lowest numbered  
basket at the bottom and the  
highest number at the top . (The  
numbers are marked on the basket  
handles).  
G
5 Fit the lid, plug in and set the timer.  
The light will come on and steam will  
soon appear.  
6 When the time is up, a bell will ring,  
the light will go out and your steamer  
will switch off automatically.  
7 Unplug and clean after use.  
hints  
G
Condensation will drip from the  
upper basket into the lower basket.  
So make sure the flavours go well  
together.  
G
Liquid left over in the drip tray is  
good for making soup or stock. But  
be careful: it will be very hot.  
G
You can also use the rice bowl for  
cooking anything in liquid (eg  
vegetables in sauces or poaching  
fish in water).  
G
Leave gaps between pieces of food.  
And put the thicker pieces nearer the  
outside.  
G
Stir large amounts half way through  
cooking.

descaling  
If your steamer goes wrong within  
one year from the date you bought  
it, we will repair or replace it free of  
charge provided:  
you have not misused, neglected or  
damaged it;  
it has not been modified (unless by  
Kenwood);  
it is not second-hand;  
it has not been used commercially;  
you have not fitted a plug incorrectly;  
and  
you supply your receipt to  
show when you bought it.  
Descale after 7-10 uses, depending  
on how hard your water is.  
Descaling increases steam power  
and helps your steamer last longer.  
1 Pour clear vinegar into the tank up  
to 'Max'. Don't use a descaler.  
2 Fit the drip tray, basket and lid.  
3 Plug in and set the timer for 20-25  
minutes. Unplug if the vinegar  
overflows.  
4 Unplug and when the steamer is  
cool, pour away the vinegar and  
rinse out the tank several times with  
water. Wash the drip tray, basket  
and lid.
