6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your sterilizer.

1. Daily Cleaning: After each use, unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely.
2. Heating Plate: The unique Teflon coating design allows the heating plate to be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth. Remove any water residue or mineral deposits.
3. Racks and Lid: Wash the lower rack, upper rack, and lid with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry. These components are typically top-rack dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended for best care.

To descale, mix 50ml of white vinegar with 100ml of water and pour it onto the heating plate. Let it soak for 30 minutes, then scrub gently with a brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly. Perform descaling monthly or as needed.
