1 Unplug the steamer and let it cool down fully.
2 Wash the lid, baskets, and mounts in warm, soapy water,
then rinse thoroughly and dry.
3 Wipe the base unit, inside and out, with a clean damp cloth.
Stubborn stains may be removed with a little washing-up
liquid, but make sure you remove all trace of it before
using the steamer.
4 Don't put the base unit in water or any other liquid.
5 Don't put any part of the steamer in a dishwasher.
6 Don't use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

reservoir and element. These deposits will impair the
efficiency of the steamer, and may shorten its working life.

causes an unpleasant smell.

11 After the 20 minutes is up, leave it to cool completely, then
pour out the vinegar and rinse the reservoir several times
with cold water, to remove all trace of the vinegar.
