The items are still wet
after drying�
When you use the sterilizer, you may notice that there are
small spots ranging from snow white to brownish appearing
on the heating plate� This is a sign that your sterilizer should be
descaled�
In any case, the sterilizer should be descaled at least every
4 weeks to ensure that it continues to work effectively.
You did not add enough water for sterilizing�
Pour exactly 130 ml/4�5 oz water directly into the water
reservoir of the base�
The heating plate may be blocked by the limescale� The
sterilizer should be descaled at least every 2 weeks�
See section "Descaling"�
You may not have poured out the remaining water from the
large basket drip tray regularly� Water accumulates on the
large basket drip tray after each sterilizing cycle� Pour out any
remaining water from the large basket after each use�
1 Detach the bottom plate from the large basket� Pour out
any remaining water from the large basket drip tray�
2 Clean the bottom plate and the large basket in hot water
with liquid dishwashing detergent�

Make sure you do not use any abrasive or aggressive cleaning
agents (e�g� bleach) or a scouring pad to clean the heating plate�

The items may still be wet due to different reasons:

• The items stack together too closely
Make sure hot air is able to circulate around the items to ensure
effective drying. You can run one more complete drying cycle if
necessary�
