Caution, risk of burns! Before cleaning, please
wait until the appliance has cooled to hand-
warm.

Do no use any abrasive and caustic cleaning
agents (scouring or nitro polishing agents). 
Do not use any cleaning agents containig 
chloride (for example bleach), these can cause
corrosion damage to the appliance.

Use plastic pot cleaners or a soft dishwashing brush
and normal detergent. Do not use any abrasive
sponges either.

Clean the appliance and accessories thoroughly
before using them for the first time. Fill the cooking
basin up to the foaming edge and operate the
appliance at the steam cooking level for 30 minutes
to remove any 'newness’ smells. Drain the water.

Clean the 

cooking basin

with a mild detergent 

solution. 

The cooking basin should not be treated with 
stainless steel care agents because, in most
cases, these are not neutral as far as food-
stuffs are concerned.

You can clean

the glass cover and the cooking

inserts

in the dishwasher.

Cleaning the control knobs

Wipe with a damp cloth. Cloth should not be too
wet, as moisture could penetrate behind the control
knob. 

Clean the appliance after every use:
• Empty and clean the steam cooker with mild soap

solution. 

• Soiling, salt and limescale deposits can cause 

corrosion.

• Clean the cooking inserts in the dishwasher or

with mild soap solution. The handle for the 
cooking inserts must only be cleaned by hand.

• Rub the cooking basin dry with a cloth. The glass

lid should not be fitted while the cooking basin is
still moist.

• If a white coating should form in the cooking basin

owing to very hard water, wipe out the basin with a
water and vinegar mixture or a descaling agent
that is not harmful to foodstuffs and then rinse it
well with clear water.

• Polish the cooking basin with a soft cloth and a

drop of cooking oil.

After cleaning and drying, you can store the 
cleaned cooking inserts and the handle in the 
cooking tub. T urn over the glass cover to make
