Maintaining Your Kambrook Essentials Food Steamer

Always switch the power off at the power outlet and unplug the power cord of the food steamer and allow the steamer base and liquid collection container to cool down before disassembling and cleaning.

Wash the lid, steamer baskets, layer support rings, rice/sauce cooking bowl, egg cooking tray, liquid collection container and element protection cover in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.

Discard the remaining water in the water reservoir and wipe the interior and exterior of the steamer base with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Do not place any part of the steamer, including steamer baskets, egg ring, lid and rice/sauce cooking bowl, in a dishwasher.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or scouring pads as these can damage the surface of the steamer and the element.

Mineral deposits may accumulate on the heating element. It is recommended to descale the steamer regularly to prolong the life of your appliance.

Prepare a de-scaling solution by mixing 2 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar.

Pour the de-scaling solution into the water reservoir; insert the liquid collection container then a steamer basket with lid on top. Turn the timer dial to approximately 15 minutes and allow steam to circulate. Allow the steamer and liquid to cool before dismantling for cleaning. If excess scale build-up still remains, repeat the process.

NOTE: If food with strong odour, such as fish has been steamed, the above procedure can be followed with steamer baskets and rice/sauce cooking bowl in position to ensure the odour is not transferred to the next steaming.

CAUTION: Do not immerse steamer base, power cord or power plug in water or any other liquid as this may cause electrocution.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the appliance, do not use alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning, use a soft cloth and a mild detergent.
