Cleaning Your Steamer
• Never immerse the steamer base, mains cable or mains plug in water.
• Unplug at the mains socket and leave the steamer to cool completely for a minimum of 30
minutes before cleaning.
• Do not clean any part of the steamer with abrasive cleaners, e.g. scouring powders, scouring
pads, wire wool, washing soda, or bleach.
• Do not clean clear plastic bowls with the abrasive pad of a cleaning sponge.
• We recommend washing the lid, rice bowl and juice collector in hot water and washing-up
liquid. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Empty the water basin and change the water after each use.
• Do not immerse the steamer base in water. Fill the water basin with warm, soapy water and
wipe with a cloth. Rinse thoroughly.
• Wipe the steamer base with a damp cloth.
Descaling the Water Basin
After about 2-3 months’ use, some chemical deposits may build up in the water basin or on the
heating element, depending on the hardness of the water. It is essential to descale the water
basin regularly.
1. Fill the water basin to the Max mark with a mixture of white vinegar and water. Do not use
any other chemical or detergent.
2. Plug the steamer into the mains socket. The steam baskets, lid, juice collector and rice bowl
are not to be used during this operation.
3. Set timer for approx 20-25 minutes and start steaming. If the vinegar mixture boils over,
switch off the steamer and unplug from the mains socket.
4. When steaming has finished, unplug the steamer from the mains socket and allow it to cool
down before pouring the vinegar mixture out.
5. Rinse the water basin several times.
