Descaling the appliance
For ensuring flawless function, the appliance must be descaled regularly. Depending on the hardness
of your tap water, the appliance must be descaled after 15 hours of operation at the latest. Observe the
following instructions when descaling your appliance!
• For descaling we recommend 1 litre vinegar water at the rate of 1/3 vinegar essence and 2/3 water.
Do not use any other decalcifiers!
• Pour the prepared mixture in the water tank (observe the max. filling quantity).
• Attach the condensate collector.
• Attach steaming tray “no. 1”.
• Attach the lid.
• For starting the descaling process, turn the knob clockwise to
30 min.
The pilot lamp glows blue.
• The appliance starts and generates steam within a short time.
• After the set time has elapsed, there is an acoustic signal and the appliance switches off
automatically.
The pilot lamp goes off.
• Let the appliance cool down, then empty residual water of condensate collector and water tank.
• Rinse the water tank thoroughly with clear water several times, clean condensate collector, strainer
insert and steam distributor.
• Always pull the mains plug after use!
Cleaning and maintenance
•
Always unplug the appliance before cleaning and let it cool down!
•
Never immerse the base unit, power cord or plug in water or clean them under
running water!
WARNING: Hazard of injury/burns/scalding
•
The surfaces of appliance, steaming trays, lid, condensate collector, accessories
and the water in the water tank are getting hot during use.
•
Hot surfaces as well as residual water in water tank and condensate collector
firstly stay hot even after switch-off
• Clean the appliance immediately after use and cooling down so that residues will not dry up.

not
suitable for cleaning in the dishwasher.
• Clean base unit and water tank with a moist cloth and wipe them dry. Highly pigmented foods (e. g.
carrots) may stain the appliance’s plastic parts. Wipe those parts with some cooking oil before cleaning
them.
• Detach the small strainer insert in the water tank as well as the steam distributor and clean these parts
in clear water. Afterwards, attach them again.
• Clean steaming trays, universal bowl, condensate collector and lid in warm water with some
dishwashing detergent and wipe them dry.
• Make sure you will not damage the mesh of the flavour distribution cap when cleaning the condensate
collector.
