Repeated cleaning of the steaming baskets in a dishwasher may result in a slight dulling of these

parts.

Descaling

You have to descale the appliance when scale is visible in the water tank. It is important that you

descale the food steamer regularly to maintain optimal performance.

1 Fill the water tank with white vinegar (8% acetic acid) up to the MAX indication.

Do not use any other kind of descaler.

2 Put the drip tray and the small steaming basket (1) on the base properly (Fig. 23).

3 Put the lid on top of the small steaming basket (Fig. 24).

4 Put the plug in the wall socket.

5 Press the start/stop button to activate the control panel.

6 Press the start/stop button to let the appliance operate for 20 minutes (Fig. 17).

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

amount of vinegar.

7 When the appliance beeps, unplug the appliance and let the vinegar cool down completely.

Then empty the water tank.

8 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

and maintenance’).

2 To store the mains cord, wind it round the reel in the base (Fig. 25).

3 Place the drip tray on the base (Fig. 5).

4 Make sure the removable bottoms are in place in the steaming baskets.

basket (2) (Fig. 26).
