CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
After each use and before cleaning, unplug the appliance from outlet and allow the steamer to cool.
Do not attempt to clean the unit while still hot.
? CAUTION: NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE UNIT, CORD OR PLUG IN WATER OR
OTHER LIQUID
? Once cooled, empty the juice collector and the water tank. If there is a small amount of water
remaining inside the tank, you can just turn the unit upside down carefully and the water will
come out of the water inlet.
? Wash lid, steaming bowls, rice bowl, bowl adaptor ring and juice tray in hot, soapy water.
Rinse and dry all parts. These parts are also top rack only, dishwasher safe.
? Wipe tank with a clean damp sponge and dry completely. If there is any food debris in the
tank area, you may use a sponge with hot, soapy water, and then rinse with a clean sponge.
Do not immerse tank in water. Dry completely.
? Do not use abrasive cleaners.
REMOVING MINERAL SCALE BUILD-UP: In hard water areas, mineral scale may build up on the
heating element. If scale is allowed to accumulate, the steam function could turn off before the food
is fully cooked.
After 7 to 10 uses:
? Remove all parts from the heating element, (bowls, lid, juice collector, steam heating element
cover).
? Pour 3 cups of clear vinegar into the water reservoir then fill with water up to the max fill
level. DO NOT use the steam element cover, lid, bowls or juice collector during this process.
? Heat uncovered.
? Insert the plug into outlet and set the timer to 20 minutes.
? Do not allow the vinegar solution to overflow.
? When the timer rings after 20 minutes, unplug the unit, allow to cool, pour vinegar solution
out and use clean cold water several times to rinse and clean the surface of the heating
element.
? Dry thoroughly.
