6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene.

• Before Cleaning: Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down completely.
• Removable Parts: The steaming basket, blending jar, and lids are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash them by hand with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
• Main Unit: Wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse it in water.
• Descaling: Periodically descale the water reservoir to prevent mineral buildup. Use a mixture of water and white vinegar, run a steaming cycle without food, then rinse thoroughly.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to these common solutions:

• Appliance not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in and the main power switch at the back is in the 'on' position.
• Steaming not working: Check if the water reservoir is filled to the correct level. Ensure the lid is properly secured.
• Blending not working: Verify that the blending jar lid is correctly locked into place. The appliance has a safety mechanism that prevents blending if the lid is not secure.
• Food not blending smoothly: Add more liquid (e.g., cooking broth, breast milk) to the blending jar. Ensure ingredients are cut into small pieces.
