Cleaning and Maintenance
It is important to thoroughly clean the unit after each use to
avoid the build up of food residue.
1. Unplug and allow the appliance to cool completely
before cleaning.
2. Empty the water reservoir and wipe with a clean, damp
cloth. DO NOT immerse the water reservoir in water.
3. Wash all removable parts in warm soapy water.
4. Be sure that the turbo ring is cleaned regularly.
5. The steaming baskets can be stacked inside one
another for compact storage.
Descaling the appliance:
1. Descale the appliance after every eight uses.
2. Position the turbo ring upside down (largest part on top)
around the heating element.
3. Fill the water take up to the MAX level with cold water.
4. Fill the inside of the turbo ring with white vinegar to the
same level.
5. DO NOT heat up. (This will eliminate the descaling
odor.) Let sit over night.
6. After the unit has soaked, rinse out the inside of the
water tank with warm water, several times. Dry
thoroughly.
Hints and Tips
■ Read all the instructions and save for future reference.
■ The water level should be topped off if it falls too low.
■ The lid should be kept on at all times during steaming.
■ To ensure even cooking, single items of food should be
the same thickness. Thicker foods may take longer to
cook.
■ Arrange the food in a single layer. Be sure the food
doesn’t touch the sides of the unit.
■ Any of the levels can be used for cooking rice, pasta,
fruit, and eggs.
■ Foods that require gentle steaming or shorter cooking
times should be placed on the top level.
■ Food that requires longer cooking time should be
placed on the lower rack.
■ Poultry or fish can be placed in any of the steaming
baskets. However, juices may drip and transfer flavors
to the lower levels of food. Wrap fish in foil or
parchment paper to retain the juices.
■ Protect lower levels of delicate foods from condensation
drips by laying a sheet of parchment paper on the
above surface.
