CLEANING
After 2-3 months usage, it is normal that chemical deposits may build up in the Water Tank and the heating element.
The scaling depends on the degree of water hardness. It is essential that the appliance is descaled regularly to
maintain steam production and extend the life of the unit.
1. Fill the Water Tank to the MAX level with white vinegar (not brown vinegar).
IMPORTANT:
Do not use any other chemical or commercial descaler.
2. Connect to the mains supply. The Drip tray, Steam Compartments and the Lid should be in place during this
procedure.
3. Press any Cooking Mode button and set timer for 25 minutes to begin steaming.
4. When time is up with beep sounds, unplug the power cord from the wall socket and allow the appliance cool down
completely before pouring out vinegar.
5. Rinse the Water Tank several times with cold water.
