Environment protection

- Your appliance has been designed to work for many years. However, when you finally decide to replace your old product, remember to think of what you can do to help to protect the environment by disposing of it at your local waste disposal centre.

Before using your appliance for the first time:

- Wash the baskets and the other accessories in soapy water, rinse and dry carefully. - Wipe the inside of the water tank with a damp sponge. Warning: Never put the base of your appliance in water.

PREPARATION - Put the turbo ring in place (A7). - Fill the water tank through the water fill inlet using cold water (A3) after opening the cap (B1), or pour the cold water directly into the water tank (A2). - Never exceed the “max“ level (A2). - Never add herbs, spices, aroma or seasonings to this water. - Put the juice collector (B) in place on the base (A).

Cooking basket 2 (D) (depending on model): - Put the food in the cooking basket. - Place cooking basket 2 on the top of basket 1. Note: if the cooking times differ between the foods in each of the cooking baskets,

begin cooking the food which requires longest time of cooking in cooking basket 1 then add cooking basket 2 during cooking to complete the cooking cycle.

.

DESCALING Descaling varies depending on the hardness of the water in your region. On

average, we recommend that you descale your appliance every 7 - 10 uses in order to maintain an effective flow of steam and to prolong the lifetime of your appliance.

- Position the turbo ring (A7) over the heating element (A1) in the water tank. - Fill the water tank (A2) with a third white vinegar and two thirds cold water up to the maximum level. - Do not heat up (to avoid any descaling odour). - Leave overnight to descale. - Rinse out the water tank with the warm water several times.
