AROMA 5Qt. 2-Tier Food Steamer Instruction Manual

Tärkeitä suojatoimenpiteitä

Sähkölaitteita käytettäessä on aina noudatettava perusturvallisuusohjeita, mukaan lukien seuraavat:

• Lue kaikki ohjeet huolellisesti ennen käyttöä.
• Älä koske kuumia pintoja. Käytä kahvoja tai nuppeja.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug, or the heating base in water or any other liquid.
• Tarkka valvonta on tarpeen, kun laitetta käyttävät lapset tai sen lähellä.
• Unplug the steamer from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow it to cool completely before adding or removing parts.
• Älä käytä laitetta, jonka johto tai pistoke on vaurioitunut, tai sen jälkeen, kun laitteessa on toimintahäiriö tai se on vaurioitunut millään tavalla. Ota yhteyttä asiakaspalveluun saadaksesi apua.
• Muiden kuin laitteen valmistajan suosittelemien lisävarusteiden käyttö voi aiheuttaa vammoja.
• Älä käytä laitetta ulkona.
• Älä anna virtajohdon roikkua pöydän tai tiskin reunan yli tai koskettaa kuumia pintoja.
• Älä aseta laitetta kuuman kaasu- tai sähköliesi päälle tai lähelle tai lämmitettyyn uuniin.
• On noudatettava äärimmäistä varovaisuutta siirrettäessä laitetta, joka sisältää kuumaa öljyä tai muita kuumia nesteitä.
• Älä käytä laitetta muihin kuin aiottuihin tarkoituksiin.
• Kytke aina pistoke ensin laitteeseen ja sitten johto pistorasiaan. Irrota laite kytkemällä jokin säätö pois päältä -asentoon ja irrottamalla sitten pistoke pistorasiasta.
• Mukana on lyhyt virtajohto, joka vähentää takertumisesta tai kompastumisesta pidemmän johdon aiheuttamia vaaroja.
• Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, ensure its marked electrical rating is at least as great as the appliance's rating, and arrange the longer cord so it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Käyttöohjeet

Follow these steps to steam your food:

1. Prepare your food (e.g., chop vegetables, season fish) and arrange it evenly in the steam trays. Avoid overcrowding to allow for proper steam circulation.
2. Place the filled steam trays onto the drip tray, then cover securely with the lid.
3. Liitä virtajohto tavalliseen 120 V AC pistorasiaan.
4. Turn the timer dial clockwise to your desired steaming time. The steamer will immediately begin to heat and produce steam.
5. Monitor the water level using the water level indicator. If the water level becomes too low during operation, unplug the unit, carefully remove the lid and steam trays using oven mitts, and refill the reservoir with cold water. Then, reassemble and continue steaming.
6. The steamer will automatically shut off and a bell will sound once the set time has elapsed or if the water reservoir becomes empty.
7. Carefully remove the lid, steam trays, and food using oven mitts to prevent steam burns.

Steaming Guide (Approximate Times)

The following table provides approximate steaming times. Adjust times based on food quantity, size, and desired doneness.

Puhdistus ja huolto

Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and performance of your steamer.

1. Irrota höyrystin aina pistorasiasta ja anna sen jäähtyä kokonaan ennen puhdistamista.
2. Remove the lid, upper steam tray, lower steam tray, and drip tray from the base unit.
3. These removable parts are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended) or can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing or reassembling.
4. Pyyhi lämmitysalustan ulkopinta mainosliinallaamp liinalla. Älä upota lämmityspohjaa veteen tai mihinkään muuhun nesteeseen.
5. Lämmityselementin kalkinpoisto: Over time, mineral deposits from water may accumulate on the heating element. To remove these, fill the water reservoir with a mixture of 2 parts water and 1 part white vinegar. Run the steamer for approximately 20-30 minutes. Unplug the unit, let it cool, then drain the solution and rinse the reservoir thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if necessary for stubborn deposits.

Vianetsintä

Katso tästä osiosta yleisiä ongelmia ja niiden ratkaisuja:

• Höyrystin ei käynnisty:
  • Varmista, että virtajohto on kytketty tukevasti toimivaan pistorasiaan.
  • Verify that the timer dial is set to a desired cooking time. The unit will not operate if the timer is at 'OFF' or '0'.
• Food is not steaming or taking too long:
  • Check that the water reservoir is filled to the appropriate level (between MIN and MAX).
  • Ensure the lid is properly seated on the steam trays to prevent steam from escaping.
  • Avoid overfilling the steam trays; allow sufficient space for steam to circulate around the food.
• Water leakage from the unit:
  • Confirm that the drip tray is correctly positioned and fully seated within the base unit.
  • Verify that the steam trays are properly stacked and securely seated on the drip tray.
  • Do not overfill the water reservoir beyond the MAX line, as this can cause water to overflow during heating.
