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.
