Before First Use
To Clean
1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.
2. Remove all packaging materials and check that
all items have been received in good condition.
3. Tear up all plastic bags and dispose of them
properly as they can pose a risk to children.
4. Wash lid, steam tray bases, drip tray and heating
element cover in warm, soapy water. Rinse and
dry thoroughly.
5. Wipe food steamer base clean with a damp
cloth.
1. Wash plastic lid, steam tray bases, drip tray and
heating element cover in warm, soapy water.
These parts are also top rack dishwasher-safe.
2. Drain any remaining water from the water tank.
Clean with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.
3. Wipe the body of the food steamer clean with a
soft, damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly.
4. For compact storing, place the heating element
cover back into the water tank. Identify the
slightly larger side of the steam tray wall and fit it
over the food steamer base (only one side of the
steam tray wall is designed to fit over the base).
Then stack the drip tray, two steam tray bases
and lid on top of the food steamer base.
Removing Mineral Deposits
1. Without the heating element cover in place, pour
a mixture of 2 parts water and 1 part vinegar into
the water tank to the
MAX
line on the water level
window. The mixture should contain at least ½
cup vinegar.
2. Plug the steamer in and set the time control dial
for 20 minutes.
3. Once time elapses, drain the water/vinegar
mixture. Allow to cool completely. Scrub the water
tank with warm, soapy water to remove any
remaining residue
.
4. Dry the water tank thoroughly for next use.
Hard water can leave mineral deposits that create scale
build-up on the water tank and heating element. If mineral
deposits occur, follow these steps.
