• Pay special attention to the risk of burns during use! During operation, the surface of the steamer and its interior (such as the steam rack, the juice tray, etc.) will reach a very high temperature, and it will remain high for a while after the power is turned off. Please wear the thermal insulation equipment before use, and avoid direct contact with hot surfaces to prevent burns.

Notice

This product is designed for domestic use only, and the manufacturer only guarantees production defects and domestic malfunctions. The manufacturer will not be held responsible for any commercial use, unsuitable use, or consequences and failures caused by failure to follow the instructions. The product will not be covered by warranty.

This product must be used with its matching power cord. Do not use other power cords.

Always place the steamer on a flat, stable, heat-resistant workbench.

Before using the product, please make sure that the lid is properly closed to prevent the steam from escaping and causing burns.

Steam stew can generate high temperature and steam during work. Do not touch, lift or move the lid of the steamer in an improper manner during work. Do not approach high temperature areas such as the steam outlet to prevent burns.

Avoid placing the steamer in the working state near or under furniture that is sensitive to water vapor (such as wooden cabinets, coffee tables, etc.).

Do not heat the closed container in a steamer to prevent the risk of explosion.

Do not operate the steamer over the maximum water level or below the minimum water level; if the water tank is overfilled with water, it may cause boiling water to splash out.

Do not move the steamer or move it above the steamer when the steamer is working, otherwise it may cause malfunction or burns.

Be careful when removing the lid to avoid scalding the body from the condensation water flowing out of the lid.

A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.

Guidelines for using functional modes

Steam, Slow Cook, Yogurt Functions

Step 1: Function selection. Touch the function key to select any cooking function mode. The selected function flashes, and the default duration appears on the top right of the screen. For "slow cook", the default time is 60 minutes.

Step 2: Function selection. Turn the knob to adjust the cooking time. For stewing mode, adjust to 1.5 hours. Skip to Step 3 if no adjustment is needed.

Step 3: Confirm the function and time, then start. Touch the "Start / Pause" key to begin the cooking phase.

Step 4: The cooking process. The display shows stages. For "steam" function:

1. The steamer first heats water to the specified temperature. The progress bar scrolls, cooking time remains unchanged, and the colon in the time display does not flash.
2. When entering medium-heat steam maintenance mode, the progress bar continues to scroll, cooking time counts down, and the colon in the time display starts to flash.
3. After cooking is finished, it will automatically stand by.

Tip: If it is the "slow cook" function, it will automatically enter the heat preservation function after cooking and keep warm for 6 hours.

Insulation Functions

• The "Slow cook" function has a built-in 6-hour heat preservation program. After cooking, the steamer automatically enters heat preservation mode with a 6-hour countdown.
• The "Steam" and "Yoghurt" functions do not provide automatic insulation.
• For heat-sensitive ingredients (e.g., seafood, vegetables), long-term heat preservation may affect taste. Pay attention to the duration.

Step 1: Function selection. Touch the "Warm" key.

Step 2: Time adjustment. Turn the knob to set the holding time. Manual insulation defaults to 30 minutes; adjust as needed (e.g., 1 hour). Skip to Step 3 if no adjustment is needed.

Step 3: Function confirmation and start. Touch the "Start / Pause" button to start the insulation function.

Preset Function

• Due to ingredient specifics, the "Yogurt" function does not support the preset mode. If preset time is set, touching the function key will only switch between "Steam" and "Slow cook". To use "Yogurt", cancel the preset function first.

Step 1: Make preparation. Touch the "Preset" button to enter the reservation time adjustment interface. Adjust time using the knob. For example, set 8 hours for a 30-minute steam mode. Note: Reservation time does not include cooking time.

Step 2: Reservation modification and cancellation. In the reservation stage, touch "Menu" to switch to function/cooking time adjustment, then touch "Preset" to return to reservation time adjustment. Touching "Preset" again in the reservation interface cancels "Preset" and returns to function/cooking time adjustment.

Step 3: Confirm the Reservation. After setting reservation time, function, and cooking time, touch "Start / Pause". The steamer enters reservation countdown, and the progress bar scrolls.

Add water Function

• The Buydeem steamer has a built-in anti-dry-burning device to detect water level and prevent damage to the heating plate. Ensure the water level probe is clean and uncovered before use.
• Due to water's physical properties, a water film might connect detection devices, temporarily disabling the water shortage reminder. However, the dry-burning protection will continue to work.

1. When water is low, the display shows "add water" and beeps. Add water as prompted. The steamer resumes operation when the water level is normal.

Boiling point detection memory program

Purpose: In non-zero altitude areas, water may not reach 100°C when boiling, causing steamers to malfunction. Buydeem recommends performing a boiling point detection operation for the first use and when moving to a new city. The chip records accurate data for subsequent tests.

Benefits: After detection, the steamer works more accurately.

Note: If you are in a city higher than 250m above sea level, perform boiling point detection before using.

Start boiling point detection

1. Ensure no accessories except the steam baffle are in the water tank. Fill water to the maximum level. Insufficient or excessive water may affect results.
2. Connect the power cord and turn on the steamer.
3. Within 30 seconds after power-on, press and hold "Preset" and "Menu" buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds.
4. The screen flashes "H1". Press "Start / Pause". "H1" stays on, and the progress bar scrolls, indicating detection mode. After completion, the machine beeps three times and enters standby.

Features

Avoid misuse

The steaming stew can be switched between modes within 1 minute of operation. After 1 minute, function switching is restricted, except for the countdown time. To switch functions after 1 minute, press "Start / Pause" first, wait for the display to flash, then select the new function.

Cold water protection

If cold water is added during cooking, the steamer will automatically heat it to the preset temperature.

Cleaning & Maintaining

Cleaning of the steamer

1. Unplug the power cord from the steamer.
2. After the steamer cools, clean the water tank interior with a wet sponge.
   

   Note: Do not immerse the steamer, power cord, or plug in water. The power cord connector must not contact water.

3. After each use, clean the steamer and sauce tray promptly to prevent food spoilage and residue buildup.

Descaling

The steaming saucepan requires regular descaling, recommended monthly. Poor water quality may require more frequent descaling. Failure to descale may cause malfunction. Scale spots on the heating plate are normal and can be gently scrubbed with a cloth. For severe cases, use the following methods:

Tips for descaling in a steamer

Using Buydeem descaling tablets:

• Add 500ml water and 5g descaling tablets to the water tank; let stand for 15 minutes.
• Activate "Steam" mode, set cooking time to 1 minute. After auto power-off, let stand for 5-10 minutes.
• Drain water, rinse with clean water 5-6 times, repeating if necessary.

Use white vinegar:

• Add 100ml white vinegar to the water tank.
• Add 500ml water to the water tank.
• Activate "Steam" mode, set cooking time to 1 minute. After auto power-off, let stand for 5-10 minutes.
• Drain water, rinse with clean water 5-6 times, repeating if necessary.
