TIPS AND HINTS
For best results, use purified water to prevent calcium deposits in the
warming chamber. When storing food, refrigerated food should be
enjoyed within 3 days, and frozen foods should be used within 30 days
for optimum freshness.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Q:
Why won’t steaming start when I turn the unit on?
A: Check that the plug is securely inserted into the outlet.
A: The warming chamber may be empty. Add water to the steam
chamber.
Q:
How do I empty the unit of excess water?
A: To empty the unit of excess water, tilt the unit onto its side over the
sink and any extra water will come out.
Q:
Why is there a white residue in the bottle warming chamber?
A: Mineral-rich water causes calcium deposits to build up in the
bottle warming chamber. The unit should be cleaned out once a
month to avoid this buildup. See decalcification section in Cleaning
and Maintenance, following. To help prevent/minimize this buildup,
fresh or purified water can be used.
Q:
Why is the milk bottle/food jar too hot or too cold?
A: Because there are so many variables when warming bottles/food
jars, adjustments to the water amounts in the instruction booklet
may be necessary. If the bottle/food jar was too hot try adding less
water next time. If it was too cold try adding more water next time.
A: Make sure to shake the bottle/stir the food to distribute the heated
contents after warming before checking the temperature.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning accessories and base
• Clean all accessories in warm soapy water or on the top rack of the
dishwasher.
• Wipe the base clean with a damp sponge or cloth. Dry it immedi-
ately. Never submerge the base or the plug in water or other liquids.
Decalcification
• Sometimes mineral deposits form inside the steam chamber and can
cause damage to the machine. To avoid buildup of these minerals,
the unit should be de-scaled once a month.
• To descale, pour 50 ml of white (distilled) vinegar into the steam
chamber. Leave for at least 2 hours then empty.
Storage
