V. CLEANING AND GENERAL MAINTENANCE
GUIDELINES
Prior to first use or in order to remove the odor, wipe the bowl and the
inner lid of the device with vinegar-water solution and steam half a
lemon for 15 minutes using the STEAM program.
Do not leave the removable bowl with food or liquid inside closed device
for over 24 hours. Store cooked dish in a fridge and reheat when required,
using the REHEAT function.
Before you start cleaning the device, make sure that it is unplugged and
has cooled down thoroughly.
Use soft cloth and mild soap to clean. We recommend cleaning the ap-
pliance after each use.
DO NOT use a sponge with hard or abrasive surface (unless otherwise
specified in this user manual). Do not use any chemically aggressive sub-
stances or any other agents which are not recommended for cleaning
items that come into contact with food.
DO NOT twist or stretch rubber and silicone parts to avoid deformation
as damaged parts may lead to malfunction of the unit.
DO NOT immerse the device in water or wash it under running water!
Clean the housing and inner surface of the chamber as needed.
We recommend cleaning the inner aluminum lid, the removable bowl,
and the steam valve after each use.
To Clean the Housing
Clean the housing with soft cloth or sponge. If required, use a mild de-
tergent to clean. Wipe the housing thoroughly.
Condensation, accumulating during cooking, needs to be cleaned after
each use of the appliance.
To Clean the Removable Bowl
The bowl is dishwasher safe. If required, fill the bowl with warm water,
let soak for a while, and clean. For more effective soaking fill the bowl

with cold water (do not fill above the maximum fill mark), position inside
the multicooker, close the lid, and let reheat for 30–40 minutes. Make
sure to wipe the outer surface of the bowl after cleaning to ensure it is
completely dry before next use.
When used on a regular basis, inner non-stick coating of the bowl may
partially or completely change color, which does not indicate a defect.
To Clean the Inner Aluminum Lid
1. Open the lid.
2. Carefully detach the inner lid from the main lid and take it off the pin.
3. Wipe the surfaces of both lids with a damp cloth or sponge. Rinse the
inner lid under running water and wash with mild soap, if required.
Do not use dishwasher to clean.
4. Wipe both lids dry.
5. Position the aluminum lid back into place, aligning it with the main lid.
To Clean the Removable Steam Valve
The steam valve is located on the upper lid of the multicooker and con-
sists of inner and outer casings.
1. Carefully pull the outer casing, holding it by the ledge in the cavity.
2. Firmly turn the inner casing counterclockwise to remove.
3. Remove the rubber insert if required. Rinse all parts of the valve.
4. Reassemble the valve: place back the rubber insert, align the steam
valve with the corresponding ledges located on the inner casing and
turn clockwise. Place the steam valve back into original position.
To Remove Condensation
Condensation accumulates in the special cavity on the housing around
the bowl and flows down into the condensation collector, located on the
back of the appliance.
1. Open the lid and take out the bowl. Lift the front side of the device to let
condensation flow down into the collector.
2. Pull the collector towards you to remove it.
3. Pour the condensation out. Rinse the collector and put it back into place.
4. Remove the condensation remaining in the cavity around the bowl
with a cloth or tissue.
