cleaning
Always ensure your steamer is switched off, has cooled down and is unplugged
from the mains supply before cleaning. Do not immerse your steamer or power
cord and plug in water or any other liquid.
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials (e.g. steel wool) or cleaning agents, to
clean any part of your steamer.
• Remove the food from the steaming bowls.
• The drip tray collects water during the steaming process - ensure that this and the
remaining water in the reservoir have fully cooled before emptying.
• Wash the drip tray, herb infuser, rice bowl, steaming bowls, grids, steam tube and lid
in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before storing.
• Using a jug, fill the reservoir with a little warm soapy water. Swill the mixture around
using a clean cloth. Pour the the soapy water away and rinse the reservoir with clean
water several times. Do not hold the base unit under a running tap.
Descaling
If you notice a build up of hard water limescale on the heating element of your steamer
you may need to descale it.
1. Pour 3 cups of white vinegar into the water reservoir and fill to the MAX mark with
water. Do not fit any other parts of your steamer.
2. Plug in your steamer and set the timer to 20 minutes. When the timer beeps, unplug
your steamer from the supply socket. Allow it to completely cool before emptying the
reservoir.
3. Using a jug, carefully flush the reservoir several times with clean water. Do not hold
the base unit under a running tap.
