Before rst use
1 Remove all packaging material from the appliance.
2 Clean all parts thoroughly before rst use. Refer to the chapter “Cleaning
and descaling”.
3 We recommend running one steaming cycle with an empty jar before using
the appliance for the rst time. Refer to chapters “Filling the water tank” and
“Steaming”.
Using the appliance
Caution
• Always check the temperature of the cooked food on the back of your hand
to make sure it is safe for your baby.
This appliance is intended for steaming fresh, solid ingredients and blending them
to the consistency of your choice. Please refer to the enclosed recipe booklet for
some tasty and nutritious recipe ideas. The appliance can also be used for just
steaming or blending only. For blending only, refer to the chapter “Blending without
steaming”.
This appliance can also be used to defrost or reheat cooked food that has been
stored in the specially designed storage pots. Always use these storage pots to
defrost or reheat blended foods. Defrosting or reheating without the storage pots
will cause the food to drop through the sieve into the jar lid.
Never put the jar with blended food inside in the steaming position on the main
unit.
Never steam the same batch of raw ingredients for longer than 30 minutes or more
than once.
ThisapplianceisNOTintendedforthefollowingpurposes.
-Steaming frozen raw ingredients
-Steaming previously blended food without the storage pot
-Steaming the same ingredients for more than 30 minutes
-Cooking rice and pasta
-Blending rst, then steaming
-Heating or reheating liquids such as soup, sauces or water
-Keeping food warm for several hours
-Cutting hard ingredients such as ice cubes and sugar cubes, or sticky
ingredients like cheese

Filling the water tank
Note
• Make sure that the water in the tank does not exceed the MAX water level
marking on the side of the water tank (250 ml) or the MAX water level
indication in the water tank.
• We recommend using soft or puried water, as the minerals in mineral or tap
water cause limescale buildup to occur more quickly inside the water tank.
• Except for materials needed for descaling, never put any liquids other than
water in the water tank.
1 Turn the water tank lid counterclockwise to open the water tank (g d), then
follow the water level markings on the water tank and ll with water to the
required level according to the chapter “Ingredients and steaming time” in
the user manual or the enclosed recipe booklet (Fig. e).
2 Put the water tank lid on the water tank and turn the lid clockwise to lock it
securely in place (Fig. f).
»When the water tank lid is correctly locked in place, the icon on the

Descaling the water tank
For optimum performance, we recommend descaling the appliance every 4 weeks.
To reduce the build up of limescale, we recommend using soft or puried water for
steaming, reheating or defrosting.
To descale the appliance, follow the descaling instructions below.
1 Make sure the appliance is switched o.
2 Mix 80 ml of white vinegar (6% acetic acid) with 80 ml of water, or you can
use citric acid with warm water to descale the water tank.
3 Add the solution to the boiler in the water tank.
4 Put the water tank lid on the water tank and turn the lid clockwise to lock it
securely in place.
5 Wait for 6 hours/overnight or until all limescale has dissolved.
6 Pour the used solution out of the water tank (Fig. ‚).
7 If the limescale buildup has not completely dissolved, repeat the descaling
cycle from step 1 to 6 in this chapter.
8 Pour some fresh water into the water tank (Fig. e) and ush it out (Fig. ‚).
Repeat as necessary until the water tank is clean.
9 Rinse the water tank lid thoroughly under the tap.
10 Fill the water tank with 200 ml of water and let the appliance complete a
20-minute steaming cycle with the empty jar before you use the appliance
