7 Descaling
When you use the steriliser, small spots may appear on the heating plate in
the base. This is limescale that is building up. The harder the water, the faster
limescale builds up. Descale the steriliser once each week to ensure that it
continues to work effectively. The frequency of descaling depends on how
much limescale is building
up.
1
Pour 60ml/2 fluid oz of water and 30ml/1 fluid oz of white vinegar (6-8%
acetic acid) into the heating plate.
2
Leave the solution in the heating plate until the limescale has resolved. The
process takes about 20 minutes, but should not be longer than 1 hour.
3
Empty the heating plate, thoroughly rinse it and wipe with a soft cloth.
Note
•
When descaling, do not put the plug in the wall socket.
•
After descaling, store the steriliser in a clean and dry place.

10 Troubleshooting
This chapter lists the questions most frequently asked about the appliance.
If you cannot find the answer to your question, contact the Consumer Care
Centre in your country.
Question Solution
Why does water
flow out of the
steriliser?
•
You may have poured too much water into the
steriliser. Do not pour more than 90ml water into
the heating plate.
•
The steriliser may not be stably positioned. Make
sure the mains cord is well fitted inside of the cord
slot in the bottom of the base.
Why are there white
spots on the heating
plate, the baskets or
the lid?
• Limescale build-up is normal and occurs more
quickly in hard water areas. Descale the appliance
regularly (see chapter ‘Descaling’).
Why does a lot of
st
eam escape from
under the lid?
•
Check if the lid has been placed on the small
basket properly.
Why does the
sterilisation process
take so long?
•
To sterilise the items thoroughly, the default
sterilising time is around 10 minutes (when 90ml
water is poured into the heating plate).
• You may have poured too much water into the
steriliser (see chapter ‘Using the steriliser’). The
amount of water in the steriliser and the number
of items placed in the baskets determine the actual
sterilising time.
Why is the
sterilisation process
so short?
• You may have poured too little water into the
steriliser (see chapter ‘Using the steriliser’)
.
Why does the
appliance start to
heat up, and the
power-on indicator
li
ghts up immediately
when I plug it in?
•
When you press the power-on button before you
put the plug in the wall socket, the steriliser starts
operating immediately when you plug it in. Do
not touch the heating plate as it starts heating up
immediately. You can press the power-off button to
stop the heating process.
Why can’t I restart
the appliance?
•
After a sterilising cycle, the appliance does not
work before it has cooled down. W
ait for around
10 minutes before you switch on the appliance
again.
