CLEANING
1. Never immerse the base, cord or plug in water.
2. Unplug at the wall socket and leave the appliance to cool completely before cleaning.
3. Do not clean any part of the unit with abrasive cleaners e.g. scouring powders, steel wool or
bleach.
4. Do not clean clear plastic bowls and baskets with abrasive side of a sponge or pad.
5. We recommend washing the lid, rice container, baskets in hot water and dishwashing liquid.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
6. Alternatively, all those parts can be cleaned in a dishwasher in the upper basket on the light
cycle. However, continual cleaning in a dishwasher may result in a slight loss of exterior gloss
and dulling.
7. Empty the water basin and change the water after each use.
8. Do not immerse the base in water. Fill the water basin with warm, soapy water and wipe with a
cloth. Rinse thoroughly.
9. Wipe the base with a damp cloth
10. Clean the unit on a regular basis.
DESCALING THE WATER BASIN
After 2-3 months of consistent usage, chemical deposits may build up in the water basin and
heating element. This is a normal process and the build-up will depend on the degree of water
hardness in your area. It is essential the appliance is unambiguous regularly to maintain steam
production and extend the life of the unit.
1. Fill the water basin to the MAX level with white vinegar (not brown vinegar).
IMPORTANT: Do not use any other chemical or commercial descaler.
2. Plug in a wall socket. Drip tray, steaming bowl and lid should be in place during this procedure.
3. Set timer for 25 minutes to begin steaming.
WARNING: If vinegar begins to boil over the edge of base, unplug the unit and switch the timer
off. Reduce the quantity of vinegar slightly.
4. When the timer rings, unplug from the wall socket and allow cooling completely before pouring
out vinegar.
5. Rinse the water basin several times with cold water.
