Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your steamer. All stainless steel components are easy to clean.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, unplug the steamer and allow it to cool completely. Wash the glass lid, steam racks, steam generator, and stainless steel liner with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
• Base Unit: Wipe the exterior of the PP body with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.
• Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits may accumulate in the stainless steel liner. To descale, fill the liner with a mixture of water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio). Heat the mixture for 15-20 minutes, then unplug and let it sit for an hour. Pour out the mixture, scrub gently with a non-abrasive sponge, and rinse thoroughly.
• Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing. Store the steamer in a cool, dry place.
