Answer

Do not pour more than 100ml water in the water reservoir.
Scale build-up is normal and occurs more quickly in hard water
areas. Descale the appliance regularly (see chapter 'Descaling').
Check if the lid has been placed on the basket properly.

in the baskets and the number of baskets used determine the
actual sterilisation time.
