How is the steamer working?

The steamer is used for making the soup. The important factor to make a good soup is slow cook and well maintained temperature. The function of the steamer is quite simple. Put the cooking material into the ceramic pot. The ceramic pot is immersed into the hot water. The hot water is heat up around 100 celsius. Then the steamer will control the temperature of the hot water around 100 celsius. Then after 2 hours, you will have a delicious soup. Such cooking method can tear the meat from the bone. Most of the time, we don't eat the meat because the nutrition is already in the soup.

I put 3/4 full of water and it takes no more than 1 minute to steam up. The problem with my machine is that it didn't hold the steam for too long. While plug in the socket. I will purchase another one. Because while the steam was working it cleaned my shower and bathroom perfectly. So don't anyone feel that this product won't work, it's just that I may have had a defective machine

You control the steam. There are buttons on the side of the top bar. You lower the top about half way and press the button to get a shot of steam. It is not continous.

I haven't had any problem with the steam at all. This is the best iron that I have owned. As a quilter I really appreciate this iron.

Yes it is either on or off, however the temperature at which the iron is set will also determine the amount of steam delivered. Also Steam Boost will deliver more steam than the normal steam setting but will use up more water as well.

I would call Electrolux, my steamer is in the shop right now. It was not getting hot enough, & Electrolux had me bring it to a repair shop. Maybe they can help you?

In order for it to steam, the receptacle has to be filled with water, the switch on the front of the mop has to be flipped to "steam," and the plate the mop pads velcro to must be attached. If you've taken all of these steps, check the outlet where it is plugged in (when I clean at work, only two outlets out of four actually function!). If it still doesn't work, you may have a defective machine. Hope this helps.

I can't always see the steam and it runs blowing air if no steam so that may be what you're seeing. You should see the indicator lights on the front while power is on. While running I can't see the glow of the UV light. So if the reservoir empties, its working. I hope that helps you!

Hi, I have an identical steamer. It opens if you pull it outward then downward from the top. If you put your thumbs in the hole near the top (where the ring is) and gently pull outward you should be able to see how it opens.

It's not actually steam per say...it's more of water being sprayed out, like a wet vac. Hope that helps!

Steamer doesn't hold that much water so I keep it going till it stops..u will know Its close to empty. U can use as often as u want..it only helps your skin.

Yes, I've found running the steam train as fast as possible for a few minutes gets the steam going. I too had trouble with at first. It is a subtle but very neat effect.

You need to select one of the buttons (15 min, 30 min, etc). It will not look like much when it is steaming, but it is working.

Not quite sure but this steamer is awesome. We steam everything from broccoli to asparagus and it steams perfectly in a short time. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys fresh steamed vegetables.

I believe you've got a defective one as I did. Mine did not produce any steam. If I were you, I would return it right away. Give it a 1 worst rating as I did.
