Descaling

After using the appliance 7 to 10 times, scale may form on the heating element, de- pending on the hardness of the water used.

It is recommended to descale the ap- pliance regularly, so that steam forma- tion is not impeded, and also to prolong the life of your appliance.

•Fill the water reservoir and the heating element housing with a solution of half water and half white vinegar to the maximum level mark. Do not use other descaling products.

•Plug in. The juice collector, juice tray / separator (depending on model), turbo

ring, steam bowls, lid and rice bowl are not used during this operation.

•Set the timer to 20-25 minutes. If the vinegar solution boils over, stop the timer and unplug the appliance.

•When the timer rings, unplug the ap- pliance and wait for it to cool down be- fore emptying out the vinegar solution.

•Rinse the reservoir with clear water se- veral times.

•Check that water flows correctly bet- ween the reservoir and the heating ele- ment housing.

Some recommendations

•If you so wish you can reduce cooking times significantly by filling the reser- voir with warm water, but note that co- oking times given in the recipes are for use with cold water.

•Do not pack food too tightly in the steam bowls or rice bowl. Leave some space for steam to circulate as much as possible.

•The times indicated may vary depen- ding on the size of pieces of food, the space left between items, the quality of food used and individual taste. Once

you are familiar with the appliance, you will be able to adjust these times. For best results, use pieces of food of ap- proximately the same size. If the pieces are of different sizes, and need to be put in layers, put the smallest pieces on top.

•If you are steaming large quantities of food, remove the lid halfway through the cooking time, stir the food and put the lid back on. Avoid placing face in di- rect contact with the steam.

•Use the juice collected in the juice ac- cessory to make soups, sauces, etc.

CAUTION When using the juice tray separator, it is re- commended to add

1 to 3 minutes to the times shown.
