Operating Instructions

Steaming Food

1. Prepare ingredients by washing, peeling, and chopping them into small, uniform pieces suitable for steaming.
2. Place the chopped ingredients into the steaming basket.
3. Insert the steaming basket into the blending jar.
4. Ensure the blending jar lid is securely closed.
5. Fill the water tank with the appropriate amount of water for the desired steaming time (refer to the water level indicator for guidance).
6. Plug in the appliance.
7. Turn the control knob to the steaming function (usually indicated by a steam icon or a timer setting). The appliance will begin steaming.
8. Once steaming is complete, the appliance may beep or automatically switch off. Carefully remove the blending jar (use oven mitts if hot).
9. Carefully remove the steaming basket and transfer the steamed food to the blending jar for pureeing, or serve as finger food.

Blending/Pureeing Food

1. After steaming, or with pre-cooked soft ingredients, place the food directly into the blending jar.
2. Ensure the blades are correctly installed and the lid is securely fastened.
3. Plug in the appliance.
4. Turn the control knob to the blending function (usually indicated by a blade icon).
5. Blend in short pulses until the desired consistency is achieved. For smoother purees, you may add a small amount of breast milk, formula, or water.
6. Do not over-blend, as this can overheat the motor. Allow the motor to rest between blending cycles if necessary.
7. Once blending is complete, turn the control knob to the "off" position and unplug the appliance.
8. Carefully remove the blending jar and serve the freshly prepared baby food.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your baby food maker.

• Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
• Blending Jar, Lid, Steaming Basket, Blades: These parts are generally dishwasher-safe (top rack only) or can be washed by hand with warm soapy water. Use a brush to clean around the blades carefully. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
• Main Unit: Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
• Descaling the Water Tank: Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may build up in the water tank, especially if tap water is used. To descale:
  1. Mix 50ml of white vinegar with 100ml of water.
  2. Pour the solution into the water tank.
  3. Run a steaming cycle without food for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Empty the tank and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Repeat with clean water if any vinegar smell persists.
  5. Perform descaling regularly (e.g., once a month or every 20 uses) to prevent significant buildup.
• Store the appliance in a clean, dry place when not in use.
