Descaling

It is advised that you descale your Steamer after every 7 – 10 uses, or as needed to prevent mineral buildup on the

Heating Elements and in the Steamer Base. Mineral buildup can cause longer steaming times and possibly affect the flavor of steamed foods.

CAUTION: Do not immerse cord, plug, or Steamer Base

with Heating Elements in water or other liquids.

1.Make sure that the Steamer is unplugged and has cooled completely.

2.Remove all parts from the Steamer Base, including the Steam Rings.

3.Fill the Steamer Base with approximately 9 cups of warm water and 1 cup of white vinegar.

NOTE: The Heating Elements should be completely submerged in the solution.

4.Allow the solution to soak in the Steamer Base for 30 minutes. After this soaking period, scrub the Heating Elements with a nylon scrubber as needed.

5.Remove the Steam Rings out of the Steamer Base and then tilt the Steamer Base over the sink to pour the solution out of the back right corner.

6.Wipe the interior and exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

7.Refill the Steamer Base with fresh, cold water and pour out into the sink. Repeat several times until all traces of vinegar have been removed.

Storing

Unplug the Steamer from the wall outlet by grasping the plug. NEVER pull on the cord. Clean and dry all parts after each use. NEVER store the Steamer while is it hot, wet or still plugged in. Store the Steamer in its box or in a clean, dry place.
