Do no use any abrasive and caustic cleaning
agents.

Use plastic pot cleaners or a soft

dishwashing brush and normal detergent. Do not
use any abrasive sponges either. 

Clean the appliance and accessories thoroughly

before using them for the first time

. Carry out

boiling point adjustment. Fill the cooking basin up
to the foaming edge and operate the appliance at
the steam cooking level for 30 minutes to remove
any 'newness' smells. Drain the water.

Clean the cooking basin

with a mild detergent

solution. The cooking basin should not be treated
with stainless steel care agents because, in most
cases, these are not neutral as far as foodstuffs are
concerned.

You can clean

the glass cover and the cooking

inserts

in a dishwasher.

The control panel

must only be cleaned with a

soft cloth. Do not use any commercially available
stainless steel cleaners as these may be aggressive
to the printed markings.

Clean control components, glass surfaces and
operator controls

with a moist cloth and gentle

rinsing detergent and wipe them dry with a soft dry
cloth.

Clean the appliance after every use:

– Empty and clean the steam cooker after every 

use. Soiling, salt and lime deposits can cause 
corrosion.

– Remove the leftovers strainer. Clean the cooking 

inserts and the leftovers strainer in a dishwasher 
or with mild soap solution. The handle for the 
cooking inserts must only be cleaned by hand.

–  Rub the cooking basin dry with a cloth and 

reinsert the leftovers strainer.

– The glass cover should not be fitted while the 

cooking basin is still moist.

– If a white coating should form in the cooking 

basin owing to very limy water, wipe out the 
basin with a water and vinegar mixture or a 
descaling agent that is not harmful to foodstuffs 
and then rinse it well with clear water.

–  Polish the cooking basin with a soft cloth and a 

drop of cooking oil.

Note: 

after a few hours of operation, the contours 

of the heating elements will appear on the base of
the tub. This does not detrimentally influence the
functions and the quality of the appliance.

After cleaning and drying

, you can store the

cleaned cooking inserts and the handle in the
cooking tub. Turn over the glass cover to make
sure that the appliance cover (special accessory)
will lie properly on the recess.
