Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your appliance.

• Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Heating Plate: Wipe the heating plate with a damp cloth. For stubborn mineral deposits, use a mixture of water and vinegar, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe clean. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Stainless Steel Components: The steamer, bowl, tray, and top cover are made of 304 stainless steel and can be washed with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. These parts are generally dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve their finish.
• Main Body: Wipe the exterior of the main body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the main body in water.
• Storage: Store the appliance in a dry place when not in use.

Troubleshooting

• Appliance does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the timer knob is set to a cooking duration.
• Food not cooking properly: Verify that the correct amount of water has been added for the desired cooking time. Ensure the lid is properly sealed to retain steam.
• Water boiling dry too quickly: Make sure enough water is added for the selected cooking duration. The heating plate has a 450mL capacity with a 280mL water level line for reference.
• Excessive steam leakage: Check if the top cover is correctly placed and not damaged.
• High-temperature protection activated: The appliance has built-in high-temperature protection. If it overheats, it will automatically shut off. Allow it to cool down before attempting to use it again. Ensure proper water levels are maintained to prevent this.

User Tips

• For perfectly cooked eggs, experiment with the water levels and cooking times to match your preference, as egg size and initial temperature can affect results.
• When steaming multiple items, consider their cooking times and density. Place items requiring longer cooking or more intense heat closer to the heating plate.
• The deepened heating plate design helps reduce the frequency of adding water, but always monitor the water level for optimal performance.
