5. Operating Instructions

The Beneam Electric Steamer Lunch Box offers three primary functions: cooking, reheating, and keeping food warm.

5.1 General Operation

1. After setup (Section 4), place your food in the stainless steel containers or eggs on the egg rack.
2. Cover the containers with their lids, then place them inside the main unit. Ensure the main lid of the lunch box is securely closed.
3. Connect the power cable to the appliance and then to a suitable electrical outlet.
4. Press the power button to start the heating process. An indicator light will illuminate.
5. The appliance will automatically turn off once the water in the reservoir has evaporated.
6. Carefully open the lid, avoiding steam, and remove your food.

5.2 Cooking (e.g., Rice, Eggs, Vegetables)

For cooking, ensure sufficient water is added to the reservoir. The cooking time will vary based on the food type and quantity.

• Rice: Place washed rice and the appropriate amount of water (e.g., 1:1.5 rice to water ratio) into a stainless steel container. Place the container in the main unit.
• Eggs: Place eggs on the egg rack. Add water to the reservoir (e.g., 50-80ml for soft to hard-boiled eggs).
• Vegetables: Place chopped vegetables in a container. A small amount of water can be added to the vegetables if desired, in addition to the water in the reservoir.

5.3 Reheating Food

To reheat pre-cooked meals, place the food in the stainless steel containers. Add a small amount of water to the reservoir (e.g., 30-50ml) for reheating. The appliance will generate steam to gently warm your food.

5.4 Keeping Food Warm

The appliance can also be used to keep food warm after cooking or reheating. Once the water has evaporated and the unit has turned off, the residual heat will help maintain the food's temperature for a short period. For extended warming, a minimal amount of water can be added to the reservoir and the unit briefly reactivated, but continuous operation is not recommended for long-term warming.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your lunch box.

1. Unplug: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Wash Removable Parts: The stainless steel containers, lids, egg rack, and spoon are dishwasher safe or can be washed by hand with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Clean Main Unit: Wipe the interior and exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
4. Descaling: If mineral deposits build up in the water reservoir, mix equal parts water and white vinegar. Pour into the reservoir and let it sit for 15-30 minutes. Empty and rinse thoroughly.
5. Storage: Store the clean and dry appliance in a cool, dry place.
