CLEANING GUIDELINES
1) Daily Cleaning
Once the power is off and the reservoir has been drained, a simple cleaning process should be
followed:
Lift the pan racks up and off mounting screws, and remove from the steamer for
cleaning.
Using a soft sponge, clean the non-stick coating on the interior of the cooking
chamber.
Clean the door gasket with gentle soap and water and allow to air dry.
NOTICE:
Only use mild soap, vinegar, and water to clean your steamer. Do not use abrasive
utensils, caustic cleaners, or products containing chlorine, lye, or phosphorus (such as
Lime-A-
Way
). After cleaning, rinse thoroughly by wiping with a wet cloth dampened with fresh water.
Never spray water on your steamer.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER INSTRUCTIONS MAY CAUSE AN UNSAFE CONDITION
AND/OR DAMAGE YOUR STEAMER, AND WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Rinse the cooking chamber and door area with clean water. Rinse the cavity.
Wipe with clean towel or soft sponge.
Clean the water level sensor probe on the lower left interior with a sponge or
cloth to remove ant mineral build up. The probe must be clean for the steamer to
operate.
To remove the white mineral deposits at and below the water line, spray vinegar
directly on the mineral build-up using a spray bottle. For heavy mineral deposits,
pour two cups of vinegar in the cooking chamber, fill to above the water level
sensor probe with water and turn the steamer on for 20 minutes. Turn the
steamer off and leave the door open. Allow to soak for several hours. Loosen
mineral deposits with a nylon bristled brush. Drain, wipe and rinse with clean
water.
Wipe out the condensate trough located under the door. Remove food particles.
NOTE:
It is always advisable to leave the steamer door open when the unit is shut down
for the evening. This will extend the life of your gasket.
Your steamer is now ready for another day’s work!
2) Monthly Cleaning
It is recommended to use the Stellar Descaling Powder to clean your steamer on a monthly basis
or whenever necessary.

WARNING:
The reservoir water may still be hot. It is advisable to let the water cool
down prior to draining.
NOTE:
Opening the steamer door will speed the cooling process. It is also advisable to leave the
steamer door open when not in use. This will lengthen the life of the door gasket.
!
WARNING:
The cooking chamber is designed to retain heat. It may still be hot to the
touch when cleaning. Wear protective gloves, or wait for the surface to cool before
cleaning. Do not add cold water to a hot, empty cooking chamber until it has cooled
down, or damage may result.
