minute after the first keep-warm cycle has finished to start another keep-warm cycle (Fig. 14).
- If you want to deactivate the keep-warm mode when it is active, press the on/stop button.
- If you want to start a keep-warm cycle when the appliance is off or after it has switched off
automatically, first press the on/stop button and then the keep-warm button (Fig. 16).
refill light
When the water level in the water tank drops below the MIN level, the refill light flashes and
you hear a beep to indicate that you have to refill the water tank.
Cleaning and maintenance
Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone
to clean the appliance.
1 Remove the plug from the wall socket and let the appliance cool down.
2 Clean the outside of the base with a moist cloth.
Never immerse the base in water, nor rinse it under the tap.
Do not clean the base in the dishwasher.
3 Clean the water tank with a cloth soaked in warm water with some washing-up liquid. Raise
the sieve in the water tank to clean it. Then wipe the water tank with a clean moist cloth.
If the sieve in the water tank becomes detached, keep it out of the reach of children to prevent
them from swallowing it.
4 Remove the bottoms from steaming bowls 2 and/or 3. Clean steaming bowls 1, 2 and 3, the
XL steaming bowl and the lid by hand or in the dishwasher. Use a short cycle and a low
temperature.
Repeated cleaning of steaming bowls 1, 2 and 3, the XL steaming bowl and the lid in a dishwasher
may result in a slight dulling of these parts.
Descaling
You have to descale the appliance after it has been used for 15 hours. The descaling light flashes for
1 hour to indicate that you have to descale the food steamer. It is important that you descale the
food steamer regularly to maintain optimal performance and to extend the lifetime of the appliance.
Note: The descaling light always flashes for 1 hour while the appliance is in use, even if you have descaled
the appliance. If you do not descale the appliance within this 1 hour, the descaling light automatically
goes out. It goes on again after you have used the appliance for another 15 hours.
1 Fill the water tank with white vinegar (8% acetic acid) up to the maximum level.
Do not use any other kind of descaler.
2 Put the drip tray and steaming bowl 1 on the base properly (Fig. 7).
3 Put the lid on top of steaming bowl 1 (Fig. 10).
4 Put the plug in the wall socket.
5 Press a menu button and the + or - button to let the appliance operate for 25 minutes.
