Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene of your baby food maker.

Self-Clean Function: After each use, you can utilize the self-clean function for preliminary cleaning. Fill the blending jar with a small amount of water and a drop of mild detergent, then select the Self-clean option. This helps loosen food residue.

Main Unit: Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in water.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Device does not turn on or operate.	Not properly plugged in. Lid not securely closed. Water tank empty (for steaming functions).	Ensure the power cord is firmly plugged into a working outlet. Verify the blending jar and lid are correctly assembled and locked into place. Refill the water tank if the "Lack Water" indicator is on.
Self-clean function leaves residue.	Heavy food residue. Insufficient detergent or water.	The self-clean function is for preliminary cleaning. Always follow up with manual cleaning for thorough results, especially after processing sticky or fibrous foods. Ensure adequate water and a small amount of mild detergent are used during the self-clean cycle.
Food not blending smoothly or small pieces remain.	Ingredients too large. Not enough liquid added (for blending). Blending time too short.	Chop ingredients into smaller, uniform pieces before blending. Add a small amount of water, breast milk, or formula to achieve desired consistency. Blend for a longer duration or use the pulse function repeatedly.
"Lack Water" indicator is on.	Water tank is empty or below minimum level.	Refill the water tank with distilled or purified water up to the MAX line.
