Cleaning And Maintenance - Chicco Pure Steam Cooker Manual De Instrucciones

VI. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
It is necessary to remove the bowl (8) and all its ac-
cessories from the base (1) in order to clean the FOOD
PROCESSOR - PURESTEAM COOKER thoroughly.
WARNING! Never immerse the base (1) in water or any
other liquids. Never place the base (1) under running
water.
CLEANING THE BASE/TANK/MOTOR UNIT
Unplug the appliance from the mains to disconnect the
power supply. Leave it to cool down.
Clean the appliance using soft cloths only. Do not place
the base (1) in the dishwasher or under running water; do
not immerse it in any liquids.
CLEANING THE BOWL AND ACCESSORIES
The bowl (8) and all its plastic accessories (lid, basket,
handle, spatula, baby food jars, baby food jar warm-up
basket, must all be hand washed using standard washing
up liquid (never use abrasive products).
Never wash the bowl (8) without removing the blade
group (9) or any other contents still inside.
CLEANING THE BLADE GROUP
To reduce the risk/protect the blades against rust or cor-
rosion, the blade group (9) must always be washed and
dried thoroughly each time they are used.
Before removing the blade group (9) from the bowl (8),
rinse it thoroughly and remove all food residue.
Remove the blade group (9) following the instructions
provided in the blade group user instructions section.
Remove each blade protection cap (9B) (if fitted).
Use soap and water, or neutral detergent, to clean the
blades (9 a), being very careful as they are all very sharp.
Aggressive detergents, such as bleach or peroxides, can
be hazardous for the steel compound and the blades may
become marked or rust beyond repair.
It is prohibited to use detergents containing chlorine or
chlorine by-products.
Rinse thoroughly under running water and dry gently us-
ing a soft (non abrasive) cloth.
Warning! Do not place the blades in the dishwasher
as the humid environment, combined with the cleaning
salts, can cause rusting.
WATER TANK MAINTENANCE
When the water tank is used, it is normal for limescale to
form inside the tank; if this is left to accumulate, how-
ever, it can compromise the functions of the appliance
and must therefore be removed every now and again.
Do not use standard limescale removers (liquids, pow-
ders, tabs etc.) available on the market as they could
contain toxic substances which are not suitable for con-
tact with foodstuffs; to clean the tank, proceed as fol-
lows:
Check that:
• the power cable is unplugged from the mains, and the
other end is disconnected from the appliance
• the appliance and water tank have both cooled down
completely
• the on/off knob (2) is set to the central position
marked "0".
Unscrew the water tank cap (4) counter clockwise.
WARNING! Never switch the appliance ON when
the tank is being soaked in the water-white vinegar lime-
scale remover mix.
a) Use your finger to close and keep the steam outlet
(13) closed.
b) Take a baby food jar (11) and make up a limescale
remover solution using equal amounts of cold drinking
water and white wine vinegar

WARNING!: do not overfill the water tank, making
sure it remains below the lower edge of the black seal
fitted on the tank inlet spout.
c) Use your finger to keep the steam outlet (13) closed,
insert and close the tank cap (4) and give the appli-
ance a quick shake.
d) Leave the limescale remover to act at least overnight
e) Use your finger to keep the steam outlet (13) closed,
and give the appliance another quick shake.
f) Remove the water tank cap (4) and, keeping the steam
outlet (13) closed with your finger, pour out all the
solution into the sink.
N.B. IMPORTANT: it is completely normal to find dark
coloured residue as this is caused by the salts and min-
erals found in standard tap water (in varying amounts
according to the hardness of the water in the area); when
the appliance is being used, this residue deposits on the
base and walls of the tank and can be removed using the
water and vinegar limescale remover solution.
g) Use your finger to keep the steam outlet (13) closed,
fill the tank again with cold drinking water, insert and
close the tank cap (4) and give the appliance a quick
shake.
h) Remove the water tank cap (4) and, keeping the steam
outlet (13) closed with your finger, pour out all the
water into the sink.
i) Repeat the procedures in points g) and h) until there is
no residue left inside the tank. The tank cleaning pro-
cedure has now been completed.
If large amounts of limescale have formed and prove
very difficult to remove, repeat the operation increasing
the percentage of vinegar in the solution.
The frequency with which the limescale is removed de-
pends on how often the appliance is used and the hard-
ness of the water. If the appliance is used often and/or
the water in the area is very hard, it may be necessary to
remove the limescale more often.
Standard practice recommends that these operations
should be performed at least once a fortnight.
VII. BABY FOOD STORAGE JARS
The food processor PureSteam Cooker pack also includes
2 practical jars to store baby food or carry it when out
and about. These jars are made from shock-proof plastic
and can be used both in the fridge and to warm-up the
contents (using the food processor PureSteam Cooker, a
bain-marie saucepan, traditional methods or in the mi-
crowave).
The jars have a graduated scale on the side to measure
liquids and baby foods more easily.
When the jars are used to warm-up baby food, follow the
instructions below:
• Always remove the jar lids when warming up baby food.
• Do not place the jar directly onto heating plates, open
flame hobs or in the oven.
• Never reheat baby food more than once, and/or for
over an hour.
At the end of the warm-up cycle:
• Be very careful when handling jars as they could be very
hot and cause burns.
• At the end of the warm-up cycle, always mix the con-
tents of the jar so that the temperature is even.
• Always check that the temperature of the contents is
not too hot before giving it to children.
VIII. TROUBLESHOOTING
IF THE FOOD PROCESSOR PURESTEAM COOKER
DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY
• Check that the power plug is plugged into the mains
properly.
