the device has cooled down.

dry with a different cloth.

Do not clean these parts in the dishwasher. The clear plastic
surfaces might become dull.

Decalcifying
In case of hard water lime gradually deposits on the heating
element. This can lead to the premature end of the steaming
process before the food is cooked.
• To avoid this problem, after using the appliance 7-10 times
put 3 cups of vinegar in the water container and fi ll it to the
MAX mark with water.
• Do not put the lid on the appliance nor the steam and rice
bowls nor the collection dish in the steam cooker.
• Insert the mains plug into a socket and set the clock to 30
minutes. A Once the timer has run down, remove the plug
from the socket. Leave the appliance to cool.
• Pour out the contents of the water container. Rinse the water
container several times with cold water.
