Lime scale removal
To maintain the performance of your steamer it is recommended you descale it
once every two to three months to increase the life expectancy and reduce
lime scale build up. In hard water areas we highly recommend using filtered
water in your steamer to increase the life expectancy and help prevent
excessive lime scale build up.
Do not use vinegar but a commercially available descaling agent; carefully
follow the quantities recommended in the instructions of the agent.
Care and Maintenance
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, ensure that the timer dial is
set to “0”, the steamer is unplugged from the mains power supply and has fully
cooled.
Wipe the steamer base unit with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly, after
pouring out any remaining water from the reservoir.
The steam baskets and lid are not dishwasher safe, hand wash only. Clean the
accessories in warm soapy water then rinse and dry thoroughly, do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaning products.
The steamer should be cleaned after each use.

The further food is away from the Water Reservoir, the longer the cooking
time.
Experiment with cooking times and positioning of foods within the 3-Tier
Steamer.
Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.
Hints and Tips
1.Cut ingredients so that they are roughly the same size.
2.If steaming larger ingredients, place them into the lower steam basket, closest
to the Water Reservoir.
3.To allow room for steam to circulate, pack ingredients loosely in the steam
baskets, use single layers where possible and leave space between the
ingredients.
4.It is advised to have a plate or tray to hand when disassembling the 3-Tier
Steamer after use, as the steam baskets and lid will drip due to condensation.
