   Note : the guided staking system is designed so the individual components can be correctly placed on each other. All the steam outlets for the cooking areas are located on the back of the device. There should be no gaps between the individual bowls, cooking areas. Check that the components have been put together in the correct order

3. If using just one cooking area, only use the lower collection tray, the lower cooking area without steam pipe, and the lid. Select only one program for the lower cooking area

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning
Unplug the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down. Do not immerse the appliance in water, but instead just use a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid to clean its exterior. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents. The collection trays, steamer baskets, steam pipe, cooking bowl and lids can be easily washed in the dishwasher.

Descaling
Please descale your appliance regularly using a high-quality commercial descaling agent. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, particularly with regard to the subsequent cleaning with clear water, which is essential! Suitable descaling agents contain inhibitors that protect appliances against damage to seals and surfaces, do not cause additional deposits and have no taste. Do not use descaling agents that are unsuitable for your appliance (such as substances based purely on vinegar or citric acid). Our warranty does not cover damage caused by using unsuitable descaling agents or failure to follow the descaling instructions. Please keep descaling agents out of reach of children and make sure you do not inhale any of the steam given off during descaling.
