CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING: Allow steamer to cool before
washing. Unplug from the mains socket.
•
Remove the containers and the lids.
•
Carefully remove the drip tray and pour away
juices into a bowl or sink.
•
If there is any water remaining in the main base
unit, pour away using the pouring lip at the back
into a bowl or sink.
Containers, drip tray and accessories
The containers, lids, accessories and drip tray may
be washed in a dishwasher. Prolonged dishwasher
use could discolour these parts. Alternatively, wash
in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
Main base unit
The base unit may be wiped with a clean, damp
cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean any part of
Intellisteam.
WARNING: Do not immerse the steamer
base, cord or plug in water or in any other
liquid.
DESCALING
Occasionally, you may need to remove mineral
deposits (known as descaling) from the steaming
system. This is normal and will depend on the
degree of hardness of the water in your area. If you
notice a slowing in steam production, or a
lengthening of steaming times, you should descale
the steaming system using a mild descaling
solution.
