CLEANING & DESCALING
The descaling process will remove deposits of calcium and other minerals in
the system that may affect its performance.
CLEANING
Turn off at the power supply, unplug the unit and allow unit to cool down
completely before cleaning. Before first use and after every use wash the jug,
lid and basket in warm soapy water or use a dishwasher (top shelf only) and
dry thoroughly. Wash the blade, sealing ring and locking ring in warm soapy
water and dry thoroughly.
PLEASE NOTE THE BLADE, SEALING RING AND LOCKING RING ARE NOT DISHWASHER
SAFE.
WARNING! Handle the blade carefully as it is extremely sharp. Care shall
be taken when handling the sharp blades, emptying the jug and during cleaning.
After every use wipe the jug housing with a damp cloth but do not submerge in
water. Do not clean with abrasive cleaners or allow to come in to contact with
solvents or harsh chemicals, damage could result.
DESCALING
You should descale the water tank of your Baby Food Maker every 4 weeks,
however if you notice limescale earlier, descaling may be required sooner.
Unplug the unit and allow to cool before cleaning. After each use allow to
cool before pouring away remaining water from the water tank by tipping the
unit sideways over a sink. A build up of limescale can negatively affect the
performance of the unit. Living in a hard water area can produce limescale
quicker than other areas therefore descaling is required sooner. Use a
descaler that is suitable for use with stainless steel and use as per the
manufacturer’s guidelines. Alternatively you can use white vinegar to descale
your unit, please use as per manufacturer’s guidelines. Once you have
descaled then follow instructions under SET UP to perform a final cleaning
cycle. You may need to repeat the process if you find that limescale is still
present. DO NOT use metal objects or scourers to clean your unit. DO NOT use
bleach to clean the unit. DO NOT use abrasive or anti-bacterial materials.

If the unit stops working during operation or after it’s been used for longer cycles, please disconnect the unit from the main power supply and let it cool down for 10 minutes before using it.
STEAMING TIMES
All times are approximate per 200g. Steam no more than 200g in one cycle. The
MAX fill line on the jug should not be exceeded when using a blend only cycle.
Always check food has been cooked thoroughly and is at a suitable temperature
prior to serving.
VEGETABLES
Potatoes| 15min
Carrots| 15min
Broccoli| 15min
Courgette| 15min
Cauliflower| 15min

FRUIT
Apple| 10min
Pear| 10min
Oranges| 10min
Peach| 10min

When cooking meat, it is extremely important to use the steaming basket only. Pause cooking every 10 minutes and stir food thoroughly to ensure even cooking.
BLENDING TIMES
The unit can be set to different times to control the texture of the food.
These times can be used as a guide to achieve different consistencies for each
weaning stage.
STAGE ONE
When introducing first tastes food needs to be pureed. Blend for ~ 2 minutes
to get a smooth consistency.
STAGE TWO
Here you can start experimenting with a combination of flavours that are
smooth lumpy chunks.
Blend for ~ 20 – 30 seconds.
STAGE THREE
Now they can eat bigger portions with a chunky texture.
Blend for ~ 4-10 seconds.
The water that collects in the jug when using the jug to steam and blend is
nutrient rich and can be kept for a smoother consistency.
When preparing food for latter stages our recommendation to is use the
separate steam and blend mode with the jug and basket to create a chunkier
texture with less water. If your preferred option is to use the automatic
steam and blend function with the jug then the water can be discarded to allow
for a chunkier texture. (Blend times outlined are approximate).
To help with your weaning journey find more information about the Tommee
Tippee Baby Food Maker, and recipes at
www.tommeetippee.com.
Department of Health recommends that solid food should not be introduced
before 6 months. Although you can start earlier (but not before 4 months) if
advised by your health visitor or GP.
WEANING STAGES
Once baby is managing up to three to four tablespoons you can start to substitute whole meals.
