Steaming Food
- Prepare Ingredients: Wash, peel, and chop fruits, vegetables, or meat into small, uniform pieces (approximately 1-2 cm).

- Load Food: Place the chopped ingredients into the steaming basket. Do not overfill. Insert the steaming basket into the steaming jug, then place the steaming jug onto the left side of the base unit.
- Secure Lid: Place the steaming lid securely on top of the steaming jug.
- Start Steaming: Plug in the appliance. Press the steaming button (usually indicated by a steam icon or located on the left side). The indicator light will illuminate, and steaming will begin.
- Completion: The appliance will automatically shut off when the water reservoir is empty, indicating the steaming cycle is complete.

Blending Food

- Secure Blending Jug: Place the blending jug onto the right side of the base unit.
- Secure Lid: Place the blending lid securely on top of the blending jug. Ensure it is properly locked to prevent spills.
- Start Blending: Press and hold the blending button (usually indicated by a blade icon or located on the right side). Blend in short pulses until the desired consistency is reached. Do not continuously blend for more than 30 seconds at a time to prevent overheating.
