Cleaning and maintenance
CAUTION: Hazard of injury and burns!
• Always unplug the appliance before cleaning!
• Do not immerse appliance, casing cover, power cord and
power plug in water nor clean it under running water!
• Always let the appliance and accessory parts cool down
before cleaning!
• Clean the appliance and accessory parts immediately after use so that residues do not dry on.
• Clean the outside of the base unit with a damp tissue and wipe it dry. Clean the heating surface in the
inner housing of the appliance with a damp cloth wrung out well and without cleaning agent. Then
wipe it dry thoroughly.
• Clean the outside of the casing cover with a damp tissue and wipe it dry. If necessary, remove the
gasket from the casing cover for cleaning. Clean the heating surface on the back of the casing cover
with a damp cloth wrung out well and without cleaning agent. Then wipe it dry thoroughly.
• Clean the removable stainless steel dish in hot water with some dishwashing detergent or in a
dishwasher. Use a conventional household cleaning brush with soft bristles for cleaning coarse soiling.
• Clean the removable divider as well as the transport lid in hot water with some mild detergent. If
necessary, remove the gasket of lid for cleaning.
• Never use abrasives and solvents!
• Never treat the appliance and accessory parts with a steam cleaner!
Tips and Notes
• Distribute the foods evenly in the stainless steel dish to ensure that it is heated as fast as possible.
• The appliance stops the heating process if the casing cover is removed during operation. As soon as the
casing cover is put back and locked again, the heating process continues automatically.
• Avoid frequent removal of the casing cover to ensure effective heating.
• Small pieces heat up faster than large pieces. The estimated heating time of the food differs, depending
on the temperature, quality, quantity and the temperature desired.
• The appliance is designed for a heating process of max. 60 minutes. As soon as this time is reached, the
appliance switches off automatically. If the food has not yet reached the desired temperature, you can
restart the appliance immediately.
• Depending on personal preference, it may be necessary to experiment to achieve the correct target
temperature.
• The actual heating time can deviate from the calculated time; the expected duration is recalculated
regularly during the heating process.
