Maintenance

Regular cleaning and descaling are essential to maintain the performance and longevity of your sterilizer and dryer.

Daily Cleaning:

Always unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
Wash the baskets, lid, and tongs with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
Wipe the heating plate and exterior of the base unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base unit in water.
Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling or storing.

Descaling (Monthly or as needed):

Mineral deposits (limescale) may build up on the heating plate, especially in areas with hard water. This can affect performance.

Unplug the unit and ensure it is cool.
Mix 50ml of white vinegar with 100ml of water.
Pour the mixture onto the heating plate.
Allow it to soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the limescale loosens. For stubborn deposits, gently scrub with a soft brush or sponge.
Pour out the vinegar solution and rinse the heating plate thoroughly with clean water.
Wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Note: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or solvents, as these can damage the unit.
