Note: Due to the safety features of this product, the boiler area
has to cool down before it can be used again. When doing
consecutive cycles of bottle warming, to speed up the boiler
cooling process, pour 20 oz. (590 g) of cold water in the steam/
bottle warming chamber and allow to sit for two minutes. When
time is up, tilt the unit onto its left side over the sink and empty.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: Why won’t steaming start when I turn the unit on?
A:
Check that the plug is securely inserted into the outlet.
A:
The steam/bottle warming chamber may be empty. Add water
to the steam chamber.
A:
Cover is not closed completely. Press the release button on the
cover to open and then lower the cover again; press down firmly
to lock the unit.
Q: Why is steam coming out the back of the unit?
A:
This may happen if the lid isn’t down tight enough. Turn the unit to
the OFF position and lift the cover. Press down firmly on the bowl
lid to ensure it is completely in place.
A:
The hole on top of the steam blade or the bowl lid center may be
blocked by food. Carefully remove the blade from the bowl and
rinse it thoroughly. Check the opening on the top for any blockage,
then put back into the bowl.
Q: Why won’t the unit turn on immediately after steaming or to
warm a second bottle?
A:
Due to the safety features of this product, the boiler area has to
cool down before it can be used again. To speed up the boiler
cooling process, pour 20 oz. (590 g) of cold water into the steam/
bottle warming chamber and allow to sit for two minutes. When the
time is up, tilt the unit onto its left side over the sink and empty.
Q: How do I empty the unit of excess water?
A:
To empty the unit of excess water, open the cover and remove the
measuring cup from the steam/bottle warming chamber. Tilt the unit
onto its left side over the sink and any extra water will come out.
Q: Why are the work bowl seal and/or hub becoming discolored?
A:
This may happen when steaming and chopping colorful food like
carrots and beets and will not affect the performance of the unit.
To avoid this from happening or becoming more discolored make
sure to always clean the bowl and accessories immediately after use.
Q: Why won’t the motor start/blade won’t rotate?
A:
Check that the plug is securely inserted into the outlet.
A:
Unit Cover is not closed completely. Press the release button on
the cover to open and then lower the cover again; press down
firmly to lock the unit.
Q: Why is the food unevenly chopped?
A:
Either you are chopping too much food at one time, or the pieces
are not small enough. Try cutting food into smaller pieces of even
size and processing a smaller amount per batch.
Q: Why is food collecting on the work bowl lid and/or sides of the
bowl or getting stuck on the blade?
A:
You may be processing too much food. Turn machine off. When
blade stops rotating, remove the cover, then the bowl lid and clean
the bowl and lid with the spatula.
Q: Why did the unit stop during steaming?
A:
The steam/bottle warming chamber may be empty. Add more
water to the steam chamber.
Q: Why is there a white residue coming out of the steam/bottle
warming chamber?
A:
Mineral-rich water causes calcium deposits to build up in the
steam/bottle warming chamber. The unit should be cleaned out
once a month to avoid this buildup. See decalcification section in
Cleaning and Maintenance, next page. To help prevent/minimize
this buildup, fresh or purified water can be used.
Q: Why is the milk bottle too hot or too cold?
A:
Because there are so many variables when warming bottles,
adjustments to the water amounts in the instruction booklet may
be necessary. If the bottle was too hot try adding less water next
time. If it was too cold try adding more water next time.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always make sure the appliance is unplugged before you start
cleaning it.
Cleaning accessories and motor base
• Rinse the work bowl, bowl lid and steam blade immediately after
each use so food won’t dry on them. All can be washed with warm
soapy water or on the top rack of the dishwasher.
• Avoid leaving blade in soapy water where it may disappear from
sight. Wash the blade carefully.
• If you have a dishwasher, you can wash the bowl lid, steam blade
and spatula on the top rack.
• Insert the work bowl upside down and the cover right side up. You
may put the steam blade and spatula in the cutlery basket. Unload
the dishwasher carefully to avoid contact with the sharp blade.
• Wipe the motor base clean with a damp sponge or cloth. Dry it
immediately. Never submerge the motor base or the plug in water or
other liquids.
Decalcification
• Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium deposits that form
over time. These deposits can cause damage to the machine. To
avoid buildup of calcium, the unit should be decalcified once a
month.
• To decalcify, pour a mixture of 100ml of water and 100 ml of white
(distilled) vinegar into the steam/bottle warming chamber. Leave for
the night and then empty the next morning. Rinse the unit with
water after you empty the unit of the water/vinegar mixture to
ensure it is properly rinsed out.
