Care and cleaning
WARNING: Allow steamer to cool
before washing. Turn timer to off and
unplug from mains socket.
Bowls, lid and drip tray
The bowls, lid and drip tray 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.
Steamer base
The steamer base may be wiped with a
clean damp cloth. 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.
WARNING: Do not immerse the
steamer base, cord or plug in water or
in any other liquid.
Descaling
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.
2
Place the drip tray, lower steaming bowl
and lid onto the steamer base.
3
Set the timer for 25 minutes to begin
steaming. Allow the steamer to operate
until the bell rings.
4
Allow the steamer to cool completely.
5
Empty the vinegar from the drip tray.
6
Empty any remaining vinegar in the water
reservoir.
7
Rinse the water reservoir several times
with cold water.
8
Allow all parts to dry completely before
storing.
