Onderhoud en Skoonmaak
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your steamer.
- Voor skoonmaak: Always unplug the steamer from the power outlet and allow all parts to cool completely before cleaning.
- Basis Eenheid: Vee die buitekant van die hoofbasis-eenheid af met 'n sagte, damp lap. Moenie skuurmiddels gebruik nie. Moet nooit die basiseenheid in water of enige ander vloeistof dompel nie.
- Steaming Baskets and Lid: The steaming baskets and lid are dishwasher-friendly for convenient cleaning. Alternatively, they can be washed by hand using warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly.
- Lekbak: The drip tray collects condensed water and food juices. Remove and empty the drip tray after each use. Wash it with warm, soapy water or place it in the dishwasher. This prevents residue buildup and protects the heating elements.
- Ontkalking: Over time, mineral deposits may accumulate on the heating element. To descale, fill the water reservoir with a mixture of water and white vinegar (e.g., 1:1 ratio). Run the steamer for 20-30 minutes. After descaling, rinse the reservoir thoroughly with clean water and run a cycle with fresh water to remove any vinegar odor.
