Care and Cleaning
1. Always switch the power off at
the power outlet, unplug the
power cord of the food steamer,
and allow the steamer base
and juice collection tray to cool
down before disassembling and
cleaning.
2. Wash the lid, steaming baskets,
rice cooking bowl, juice collection
tray and element protection
cover in warm soapy water, rinse
and dry thoroughly.
3. Discard the remaining water in
the water reservoir and wipe
the interior and exterior of the
steamer base with a damp cloth,
and dry thoroughly.
Do not place any part of the steamer,
including steaming baskets, lid and
rice cooking bowl, in a dishwasher.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel
wool or scouring pads as these can
damage the surface of the steamer
and the element.
The steamer body can be wiped over
with a damp cloth and dried.
Descaling or Odour Removal
Mineral deposits may accumulate
on the heating element. It is
recommended to descale the
steamer regularly to prolong the life of
your appliance.
Prepare a de-scaling solution
by mixing 2 cups of water and 1
tablespoon of lemon juice or white
vinegar.
Pour the de-scaling solution into
the water reservoir; insert the juice
collection tray then a steaming
basket with lid on top. Turn the timer
dial to approximately 15 minutes and
allow steam to circulate. Allow the
steamer and liquid to cool before
dismantling for cleaning. If excess
scale build-up still remains, repeat the
process.
NOTE:
If food with strong odour,
such as fish, has been steamed,
the above procedure can be
followed with steaming baskets
and rice cooking bowl in
position to ensure the odour is
not transferred when next used
for steaming.
CAUTION:
Do not
immerse steamer base,
power cord or power
plug in water or any other
liquid as this may cause
electrocution.
WARNING:
Do not use
chemicals, steel wool,
metal scouring pad or
abrasive cleaners to
clean the outside of the
food steamer housing
or steamer basket as
these can damaged the
housing or the steamer
basket.
