(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.

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’

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.

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.

food in each tier. (Where appropriate
the food should be cut into equal
size pieces).
