The appliance must be protected by  
a 13A approved (BS1362) fuse.  
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE

G
Don't let infirm people use the  
steamer without supervision.  
Keep children away from the  
machine and never let the cord hang  
down where a child could grab it.  
Never use a damaged steamer. Get  
it checked or repaired: see 'service  
and customer care'.  
Never put the steamer, cord or plug  
in water – you could get an electric  
shock. Keep the controls clean and  
dry.  
G
For non-rewireable plugs the fuse  
cover MUST be refitted when  
replacing the fuse. If the fuse cover  
is lost then the plug must not be  
used until a replacement can be  
obtained. The correct fuse cover is  
identified by colour and a  
replacement may be obtained from  
your Kenwood Authorised Repairer  
(see Service).  
If a non-rewireable plug is cut off it  
must be DESTROYED  
IMMEDIATELY. An electric shock  
hazard may arise if an unwanted  
non-rewireable pug is inadvertently  
inserted into a 13A socket outlet.

1 Fit the strainer inside the water tank.  
(It stops particles 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  
60 minutes.)  
G
The steamer is fitted with an anti  
limescale coated heating element to  
prolong the life and efficiency of your  
steamer. However, depending upon  
the water hardness of your area, we  
recommend the use of filtered water.  
(Kenwood water filters are widely  
available).  
Don't add anything (even salt or  
pepper) to the water – it could  
damage the heating element.  
To stop the steaming process press  
and hold down the ‘STOP’ (O)  
button.

To select a time different to the  
displayed time of 45 minutes, press  
the ‘+’ or ‘-’ buttons to increase or  
decrease the time. When the desired  
time is displayed, press the ‘START’  
button and the steamer will switch  
on and the cook symbol will flash.  
G
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.  
G
G
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.  
The cooking times on pages 6 - 7  
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.  
G
After 1 minute, if the time/menu is  
displayed but the ‘START’ button  
has not been selected, the display  
will switch off. To re-select a  
programme press the ‘START’  
button.  
A buzzer will sound whenever the  
‘START’ button is pressed or when  
the steamer switches off.

keep warm function  
The flavour and nutritional value of  
steamed food is best when freshly  
cooked. However, should you wish  
to keep food warm for a short period  
of time, select ‘KEEP WARM’ on the  
menu and if necessary adjust the  
time accordingly.  
G
using the steam tube  
Use the steam tube when you want  
to cook large quantities of the same  
food such as fruit or vegetables at  
the same time.  
1 Place equal amounts of the same  
food in each tier. (Where appropriate  
the food should be cut into equal  
size pieces).  
8 Unplug and clean after use.  
important  
At the end of the cooking cycle your  
steamer will automatically switch  
to the keep warm setting for 20  
minutes. During this time the  
steamer will cycle on and off, so take  
care as steam may be produced  
when you’re not expecting it.  
2 Follow steps 1 to 4 ‘to use your  
steamer’.  
To switch the steamer off or to  
cancel the keep warm setting, press  
and hold down the ‘STOP’ button.  
3 Fit the assembled tray marked 1 into  
the steamer.  
4 Place the steam tube upright in the  
centre of the bottom tray, then fit the  
assembled tray 2 over the steam  
tube. When using the steam tube  
the disc should be removed.  
5 Fi the assembled tray 3 on the top.
