Clearing Water Scale
1. If you realize that the steam emission is slower than before or not as smooth, or if the steam is
found to have white powdery residues, try adding citric acid or white vinegar to the storage tank,
and then start the steam oven to remove the scale from the pipe. After performing these steps,
normal operation should resume. If the amount of water scale is too high, perform this
procedure repeatedly. After the procedure(s), it is recommended to run the oven once with
pure water.
2. If the product does not emit steam at all, it is likely that the pipe has been seriously clogged due
to excessive accumulation of scale, so the steam is unable to pass through. Contact the
maintenance personnel for repair as soon as possible.
3. It is recommended that the user performs the above-mentioned descaling procedure every one
and a half to two months.

Clean and Maintenance
1. Please turn off the steam oven and unplug the power cord from the outlet before cleaning the
interior.
2. Do not clean the bake ware surface with a metal tool or sharp object because there is a
non-stick coating on the surface.
3. Please keep the interior clean frequently. When food or grease is splashed onto the inner
surface wall, it can be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not clean with a hard substance. If the
inner wall of the oven is dirty, user can use a clean cloth with soap to clean.
4. It is recommended to use the pure water or distilled water for the cooking with the steam
oven. If the tap water is used for an extended period of time, there will be scaling on the inner
walls.
5. The water tank shall be checked regularly. If necessary, the water tank shall be taken out
horizontally. The water tank must be cleaned and wiped gently with a soft cloth. After the
wiping or cleaning of the inner wall, the water tank shall be put back to its original place.
6. After the cooking is completed, the residual water in the water holder shall be removed.
7. The sealing surface of the oven door shall be cleaned frequently and wiped with a soft dry
cloth.
8. If the steam oven is not used for a long time, the outlet plug shall be unplugged. The interior
shall be cleaned and then the steam oven shall be placed in a dry environment without
corrosive gas.
9. The product must be repaired by a certified technician in case of any failure. Do not
disassemble by yourself.
10. Do not clean the glass of oven door with a rough detergent or sharp metal scraper because it
may lead to the damaging of the glass.
11. The power cord shall be unplugged when cleaning the interior or replacing the bulb.
