How often should I descale the unit?
It is recommended to descale the heating element regularly, especially if you notice slower steaming times or mineral build-up. The frequency depends on your water hardness and usage, but typically monthly is a good guideline.
What kind of water should I use for steaming?
It is best to use filtered or bottled water to minimize mineral build-up and extend the life of the heating element.
Troubleshooting
Device does not steam
Ensure the water reservoir is filled correctly and the lid is securely in place. Check that the unit is properly plugged into a working power outlet.
Motor stops during blending
Allow the motor to cool down for a few minutes before resuming. Ensure the ingredients are not too dense or dry; add a small amount of liquid if necessary.
Food is not smooth
Blend for a longer duration. For tougher ingredients, ensure they are cut into smaller pieces before steaming. Add a small amount of cooking liquid to aid blending.
Excessive water in the cooking bowl
Ensure the lid is attached correctly. Avoid overfilling the cooking bowl with ingredients or water.
