7. Cleaning/maintenance of your steam steriliser
7.1 Cleaning
Warning! To prevent the risk of an
electric shock, injury or damage:
– Always unplug the unit before
cleaning it.
– Never immerse evaporation tray 10
in water.
– Clean the unit only once it has
cooled down.
Caution! Under no circumstances use
scouring agents or corrosive or abrasive
cleaning materials, as these could damage
the appliance.
Wipe the evaporation tray/hotplate 10 and the
lid 2 with a damp cloth after every use.
Drip tray 9 can be removed from bottom
basket 7 for cleaning.
• Press in three of the four locks 8 on the
base of the basket as shown in Figure A.
Drip tray 9 can now be folded and put
away.
• To fit drip tray 9 back onto the basket, push
the basket into the drip tray until locks 8
engage.
The top and bottom baskets 4 and 7, bottle
holder 5, drip tray 9 and bottle tongs 6 are
dishwasher-proof.
Note: Natural dyes from food can leave
permanent stains on the plastic parts of your
steriliser, but this does not affect the steam
steriliser’s performance.
7.2 Descaling
After some time (depending on the hardness
of your tapwater), the cooking process will
cause limescale to form in the evaporator tray
of the steam steriliser. You should remove this
regularly to ensure the steriliser functions
correctly as limescale can greatly reduce its
performance during cooking and sterilisation.
Caution! Do not use commercially-available
descalers, pure acetic acid or vinegar
essence.
1. To get rid of limescale, we recommend
pouring 35 ml of white vinegar and 35 ml of
boiling water into the steriliser and leaving
it to take effect for 30 minutes.
Note: longer periods will not improve
descaling but may damage the appliance
in the long term.
2. After this time, empty the steriliser, rinse
out twice with clean water and wipe dry.
8. Disposal
8.1 Appliance
The symbol with the crossed-out
rubbish bin on wheels means that
within the European Union, the
product must be disposed of to a
sorted rubbish collection. This
applies to the product and all
accessories which are marked
with this symbol. Marked products must not
be disposed of via the regular domestic waste
but must be handed in to a recycling centre
for electrical or electronic devices. Recycling
helps to reduce the use of raw materials and
to relieve the environment. It is therefore
imperative that you follow the disposal
regulations applicable in your country.
8.2 Packaging
If you wish to discard the packaging, please
observe the applicable environmental
regulations in your country.
