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 and the drip tray 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 Clean the steaming bowl, the duo bowl and the lid by hand or in the dishwasher. Use a short

cycle and a low temperature.

Repeated cleaning of the steaming bowl, the duo 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 ashes 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 ashes 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 the steaming bowl on the base properly (Fig. 13).

3 Put the lid on top of the steaming bowl (Fig. 14).

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.

If the vinegar starts to boil over the edge of the base, unplug the appliance and reduce the

amount of vinegar.

6 After 25 minutes, 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.

Storage

1 Make sure all parts are clean and dry before you store the appliance (see chapter ‘Cleaning’).

2 To store the mains cord, push it into the cord storage compartment in the base (Fig. 15).

3 Place the steaming bowl on the drip tray. Place the duo bowl in the steaming bowl. Place the

lid on the steaming bowl (Fig. 16).
