• Before Cleaning: Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down completely.
• Main Unit: Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
• Heating Chamber: After each use, empty any remaining water. To remove mineral deposits (limescale), mix 50ml of white vinegar with 100ml of cold water and pour into the heating chamber. Let it stand for 30 minutes, then pour out the solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Do not scrub with abrasive materials.
• Accessories: The bottle basket, measuring cup, tongs, and sterilizer lid can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or placed in the top rack of a dishwasher.
• Storage: Store the clean and dry appliance in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.

8. Troubleshooting

• Appliance does not turn on:
  • Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the wall outlet and the appliance.
  • Ensure the wall outlet is functioning correctly by testing it with another appliance.
• Milk/Food not warming sufficiently:
  • Ensure enough water has been added to the heating chamber.
  • Verify that the correct warming mode has been selected.
  • The starting temperature of the milk/food and the volume can affect warming time. Allow more time for larger volumes or colder starting temperatures.
• Sterilization cycle seems too short/long:
  • Ensure the correct amount of water (approx. 100ml) is used for sterilization.
  • Make sure the sterilizer lid is properly seated.
• Limescale buildup:
  • Refer to the "Cleaning and Maintenance" section for descaling instructions. Regular descaling is important, especially in hard water areas.
