Unfortunately, we do not have any further information on this, but it is not mentioned in the instructions for use that this would be possible, possibly for safety reasons.

No, not this version. You can find the CH version under this link; WMF KÜCHENminis CH-Edition

From plastic

And can anyone recommend using the steamer completely as a rice cooker (with other bowl inserts)? Should also be able to cook rice for 6 people at once...?

Yes, Cromargan is stainless steel. It's a brand name that WMF also uses for its cutlery and pans. But the black parts (handles, edges of the intermediate shelves) are plastic.

Yes, there are few applications for which the partition is needed.

Yes, you can. It's just a shaky business. But I don't really see the point. Saving electricity...? Or do you have several containers? I have four of them. But the centre pieces are for diverting the steam. But you have to rebuild it a bit... But I can answer your question with "YES".

Mine came with a CH plug.

Available from Brack. Yes. WMF has a matching glass lid that we can order for you on request. The WMF article number is 10 0005 0023. To order, please contact our sales department (verkauf@brack.ch or tel. 062 889 80 80) and quote this number. Copied from https://www.brack.ch/wmf-dampfgarer-kuechenmini-380508 at the bottom

Defrosting is possible, but you have to take into account how thick the vegetable pieces or fish fillets are and the amount you fill in so that everything is cooked. Tip: Select a longer setting. I am very satisfied with this appliance.

No, the compartments do not fit together for storage.

No, it does not have that function.

28 x 14 x 6.5 cm The seamer is great, by the way. Compactly built and the two containers can contain independent cooking times and different foods.

The product is supplied with an EU plug and fixed adapter.

No, the bowl is firmly attached to the body (as shown in the last picture). Although the water can be tipped out easily, cleaning is a little more difficult overall. However, the bowl doesn't get very dirty because each of the two shelves containing the food has its own base to collect juices etc.

Is there a standalone steam cooker that only allows the water to come into contact with metal parts (cooking chamber, COOKING ZONE)?

Mine doesn't do that. It's obviously a malfunction.

Hello. I can't tell you if Galaxus can provide you with this element only. However, you can find it on this site => https://www.le-sav.com/cuiseur-vapeur-kitchen-0415090011-wmf/29971-couvercle-pour-cuiseur-vapeur-wmf-fs-1000050023.html. You can also search for it on the internet with the reference FS-1000050023.

Yes, without any problems. But of course not the lowest element, where the heating is.

The hexagonal https://wtf.amazon.ch/666 fits quite well.

Yes, he is.

Google WMF customer service, they should be able to supply spare parts. At least it worked for my blender and the price was surprisingly ok.

About 300-400 grams of uncooked rice fits in it (it still takes up a lot of volume). But you can also use any other bowl that fits and cook rice on both levels, for example. However, I would only recommend the appliance for 1-2 people, from 3 onwards the space is too small.
