ever, continual cleaning in a dishwasher may result in a slight loss of
polish.

the bottom of the power base.
Descaling the Water Tank
After about 2-3 months’ use, some chemical deposits may build up in the wa-
ter tank or on the heating element, depending on the hardness of the water.
It is essential to descale the water tank regularly to prolong the product life.
Fill the water tank to the Max mark with a mixture of white vinegar and
1.
water. Do not use any other chemical or detergent.
Plug the steamer into the mains socket. The steamer baskets, lid, juice
2.
collector and rice bowl are not to be used during this operation.
Set timer for approx.20-25 minutes and start steaming. If the vinegar
3.
mixture boils over, switch off the steamer and unplug from the mains
socket.
When steaming finishes, unplug the steamer from the mains socket and
4.
allow it to cool down before pouring the vinegar mixture out.
Rinse the water tank several times.
