6. Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene.
- Always unplug the warmer and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
- Wash the hand basket, adapter ring, and measuring cup with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. These parts are generally dishwasher safe (top rack only), but hand washing is recommended for longevity.
- Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up in the warming chamber. To descale, mix 50ml of white vinegar with 100ml of cold water and pour it into the warming chamber. Let it stand for 30 minutes (do not heat). Pour out the solution and rinse the chamber thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if necessary.
- Store the warmer in a dry place when not in use.
