WARNING! For hygiene and health reasons, never
warm up food more than once, or for more than
one hour.
VII. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To clean PureSteam Cooker thoroughly, it is necessary
to separate the jug (8) and its accessories from
the base (1).
WARNING! Never wet or submerge the base (1)
in water or other liquids. Never place the base (1)
under running water.
HOW TO CLEAN THE BASE / BOILER / MOTOR UNIT
- Disconnect the equipment from the mains, unplugging
the power cable from the mains socket.
- Allow the equipment to cool down completely.
- Clean the equipment only with a damp cloth.
- Do not clean the base (1) in a dishwasher or under running
water.
HOW TO CLEAN THE JUG AND PLASTIC ACCESSORIES
- The jug (8) and other plastic accessories (lid, rack, handle,
spatula, food jars, food jar rack) can be hand-washed
with a domestic washing-up liquid (do not use abrasive
products), or in a dishwasher.
It is recommended to clean the jug (8) only after
removing the blade unit (9) and all the components
contained inside.

HOW TO CLEAN THE BLADE UNIT

To prevent/reduce the risk of blade oxidization/corrosion,
clean and dry the blade unit (9) immediately after use.
Before extracting the blade unit (9) from the jug (8), rinse
it thoroughly and remove any food residues.
Disassemble the blade unit (9), as indicated in the instruc-
tions under the BLADE UNIT section.
- Remove each blade cover (9b) (in case they are still
fi tted).
Clean blades' surface (9a) with water and soap, or
a neutral detergent, handling the sharp edges very
carefully. Aggressive detergents, such as bleaching
agents or chlorine, may damage the steel, staining
it and oxidizing it permanently.
Do not use any chlorine based detergents or chlorine
compounds.
- Rinse thoroughly under running water, and dry imme-
diately with a soft (non abrasive) cloth.
- It is recommended not to wash the blades in a dishwasher,
since the damp environment of the dishwasher, coupled
with the presence of salts, could oxidise the blade unit.
BOILER MAINTENANCE
Normal use of the equipment can cause the formation of
lime-scale residues inside the boiler. This may noticeably
impair the performance of the product and, therefore, the
lime-scale residues should periodically be removed.
To descale the boiler, do not use any commercial descaling
agents (liquids, powders, tablets etc.), as they might contain
toxic substances unsuitable for contact with foodstuffs, but
proceed as indicated below.
Ensure the equipment is disconnected from the
mains, and that the ON/OFF switch (2) is in a vertical
position, on "0".
Unscrew the lid of the boiler (4), turning it anticlockwise.
Fill the boiler with a solution made of equal parts of water
and white vinegar, using a baby food jar (11) as measuring
unit.
Never fi ll the boiler excessively and, in any case, do not fi ll
it over the washer located at the opening.
Leave the solution for at least one night.
Empty the boiler and rinse thoroughly with water.
In case of particularly resistant or abundant scale residues,
repeat the operation increasing the amount of vinegar.
Never pour water into the boiler directly from the tap
(diag. I).
Carry out a warming up cycle without food, fi lling the boiler
with 150 ml of water.
Let the equipment cool, throw away the residual water left
in the jug and then wash thoroughly the jug (8), baby food
jar (11) and blade unit (9), as indicated at the beginning of
the CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE section.
WARNING! Before carrying out the cleaning cycle,
check that the cooking rack (7), baby food jar (11)
and each blade cover (9b) have been removed from
the jug (8) (see instructions in section "HOW TO
USE THE EQUIPMENT" to perform this operation).
The frequency at which descaling should be carried out
depends on the use of the equipment and on the hardness
of the water; the more often the equipment is used, and/or
the harder the water, the more frequent should descaling
be performed.
In any case, it is recommended to descale the equipment
at least once every 15 days.
VIII. BABY FOOD JARS (11)
The PureSteam Cooker pack also includes 2 very practi-
cal jars for storing and carrying baby food. These jars are
made of shock-resistant plastic, and can be used both in
the fridge and to warm up baby food (by bain marie hea-
ting with PureSteam Cooker, – traditional method – or in
a microwave oven).
The jars feature a graduated scale for measuring liquids
or baby food inside the jar. Follow the guidelines provi-
ded below to warm up baby food in the jars.
- Before warming up baby food, always remove
the lid from the jar.
- Do not place the jars directly onto gas rings,
warming plates, electric ovens, etc.
- Do not warm up baby food more than once and/
or for more than one hour.
After warming up baby food:
- Handle the jar with care to avoid burning your-
self (the jar can be very hot).
- At the end of the warming cycle, always stir the
jar's content to even food temperature.
- Always check the food temperature before fee-
ding baby.
