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 of steaming bowls 2 and 3. Clean the steaming bowls, the XL steaming
bowls, the bottoms, and the lid by hand or in the dishwasher, using a short cycle and a low
temperature.
Repeated cleaning of the steaming bowls, 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. It is important that you
descale the food steamer regularly to maintain optimal performance and to extend the lifetime of
the appliance.
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 Turn the steaming time adjustment knob to set a steaming time of 25 minutes.
If the vinegar starts to boil over the edge of the base, unplug the appliance and reduce the
amount of vinegar.
6 When the steaming time has elapsed, unplug the appliance and let the vinegar cool down
completely. Then empty the water tank.
7 Rinse the water tank with cold water several times.
Note: Repeat the procedure if there is still some scale in the water tank.

2 Place the bottoms in steaming bowls 2 and 3.
