5.3 Defrosting and Reheating

The steaming unit can also be used for defrosting and reheating. Place the food in a heat-safe container within the steaming unit's water reservoir. Set the timer as needed for gentle warming.

The steaming unit can function as a bottle warmer. Place the baby bottle in the water reservoir and set the timer to gently warm milk or formula.

Note: For carrot puree, 25 minutes is recommended for better results. For leafy vegetables like spinach, set 10 minutes. We recommend that the amount of food is between 50-250g; meat/fiber food should not exceed 100g to get soft/puree food and prevent malfunction, such as automatic shutdown and inability to cook the food. Meat must be boneless and gluten-free. It is better to defrost ingredients before steaming.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

  • Daily Cleaning: After each use, unplug the appliance and allow it to cool. Disassemble the stirring cup, steam basket, and lid.
  • Dishwasher Safe: The stirring cup, steam basket, and lids are dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
  • Hand Washing: For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Main Unit: Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse it in water.

  • Appliance Not Turning On: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Verify that the stirring cup and lid are correctly assembled and locked into place.
  • Food Not Blending Properly: Ensure the food is adequately steamed and soft. If the puree is not delicate enough, steam for a longer duration. Check that the blade is properly installed.
