8 Unplug the appliance and wait until the appliance has cooled down completely.

Cleaning
Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents (e.g. bleach) or a scouring pad to clean
this appliance.
Never immerse the base, the mains cord or the mains plug in water or any other liquid.
Note: The steriliser is not dishwasher-proof. The baskets and the lid can be cleaned with hot water and
some washing-up liquid.
1 Always unplug the appliance and let it cool down before you clean it.
2 Clean the base with a moist cloth.
3 Clean the other parts in hot water with some washing-up liquid.
Note: After cleaning, store the steriliser in a clean, dry place.
Descaling
When you use the steriliser, small spots may appear on the heating element in the base. This is scale
that is building up. The harder the water, the faster scale builds up. Descale the steriliser at least
every 1 or 2 weeks to ensure that it continues to work effectively.
1 Pour 80ml/2.7oz of white vinegar (5% acetic acid) and 20ml/0.7oz of water into the water
reservoir.
2 Leave the solution in the water reservoir until the scale has resolved.
3 Empty the water reservoir, thoroughly rinse it and wipe the base with a damp cloth.
