NB.
Although it is always best to use fresh fruit and vegetables which have a high vitamin content, it is
also possible to cook frozen fruit and vegetables which have been defrosted in the BABYCOOK
®
bowl or
in the fridge (never defrost food at room temperature).
NOTE
: After each use, and for tank maintenance, the Babycook tank must be emptied and left to dry for
2 hours before closing the tank lid.
CLEANING and MAINTENANCE
• Always unplug the appliance before cleaning it.
• It is advised to wash the removable parts by hand: bowl, basket, spatula, Blending cover, lid, joints, blade, etc. These
elements can also be washed in a dishwasher. Dishwasher cleaning may cause parts to wear faster over time.
• To clean the blade and its joint, follow the dismantling and assembly instructions:
• To dismantle the cover and the cover’s joint:
• Clean the body of the appliance with a damp sponge and dish soap.
Food or food juices must never enter the tank because this will damage the stainless steel* tank. If the
bowl is used to fill the tank with water, make sure that the bowl has been thoroughly cleaned and that
there is no food residue or food juices in the bowl (see cleaning instructions)
Frequently wash and rinse the tank without systematically waiting for the descaling light to flash, certain
waters and usages can lead to a faster soiling of the tank. A tank which is not cleaned can lead to a
definitive deterioration of the stainless steel*.

DESCALING
The appliance is equipped with a cycle counter which indicates when your product requires descaling (50 cycles).
• When the appliance’s steam button ( ) turns red, it is necessary to descale the heating reservoir.
• Only use white vinegar or the BEABA cleaning product for Babycook.
• Never use a chemical descaler or a coffee machine descaler in the reservoir.
• Never warm the white vinegar or the BEABA Cleaning product for BABYCOOK. This is a cold unheated process.
1. Unplug your appliance, descaling should be done cold and does not require a heating cycle.
2. Pour a mixture of 110 ml (1/2 cup) of water and 110 ml (1/2 cup) of white vinegar or the BEABA
cleaning product for Babycook into the reservoir.
3. Leave to soak overnight with the lid open.
4. Remove the lid from the arm
IV
5. Empty the contents of the reservoir by turning the product upside down
VI
6. Rinse the reservoir with water at least 3 times making sure to empty its contents each time.
7. Replace the lid by clipping it firmly on to the arm
IV
8. Start a heating cycle with water in the reservoir (level 1 = 100 ml) and without any food. The steam
cooking button will still be red.
9. To reset the appliance, pour water into the reservoir (level 1) and launch a second heating cycle,
pressing down on the steam button 20 seconds to 1 minute. The steam button will turn white.
10. Rinse the bowl with water before using it.
11. Depending to the type of water you have, you may have to descale your appliance more often. See
table (troubleshooting)
12. You can also reset Babycook without descaling it. However, we strongly advise you to do so because
it helps to prolong your appliance’s life span.
Procedure and Product Reset
(To reset cooking cycle countdown)
- Unplug appliance from mains
- Check that tank is empty
- Remove the cooking bowl

- Place the bowl on the base
- Close the lid

*Stainless steel: stainless steel is a grade of steel which has a protective film of several micrometers thick
and which prevents corrosion. This protective film can however be deteriorated by using inappropriate
products or by insufficient cleaning. Therefore, the accumulation of residue on the stainless steel surface
can, under certain conditions, ruin the protective film and favor corrosion.
Very acidic water (PH below 7) will weaken your tank and threaten its durability (rust development). Only
use proper NEUTRAL DRINKING WATER. Filtered/demineralized water is not recommended. If you use a
water softener, make sure the filter is well adjusted and clean.
NOTE
: After each use, and for tank maintenance, the Babycook tank must be emptied and left to dry for
2 hours before closing the tank lid.
