Care and Cleaning
CAUTION; ALLOW STEAMER TO COOL
BEFORE WASHING. TURN TIMER TO OFF.
UNPLUG THE CORD FROM OUTLET.
Bowls, lid and drip tray
Bowls, lid, drip tray and detachable steam
nozzle may be washed in a dishwasher (top
rack only). Alternatively, wash in hot soapy
water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Prolonged
dishwasher use could discolour these parts.
Water reservoir
Fill the removable water reservoir with
warm water and rinse. Wipe dry
with a soft cloth. Do not place in a
dishwasher as it may get damaged.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean
any part of the steamer.
The steamer base may be wiped with a
clean damp cloth.
Do not immerse the steamer base,
cord or plug in water or in any other
liquid.
Descaling your food
steamer
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.
1 Fill the water reservoir half full with clear,
white vinegar. Place the drip tray, lower
steaming bowl and lid onto the steamer
base. Position the water reservoir in
place.
2 Set the timer for 25 minutes to begin
steaming. Allow the steamer to operate
until the bell rings.
3 Allow the steamer to cool completely.
Pour out the vinegar in the drip tray. Empty
any remaining vinegar in the water reservoir.
4 Rinse the water reservoir several times
with cold water. Allow all parts to dry
completely before storing.
