Frequently Asked Questions - Avent SCF883 PHILIPS

How to set up the appliance for the first time?

Remove the packaging, clean all parts thoroughly, then run an empty steam cycle (empty bowl) before first use. Refer to the chapter 'Before first use' in the manual.

What type of water should be used in the tank?

It is recommended to use demineralized or distilled water to reduce limescale buildup. Never pour bleach or chemicals into the tank.

Can I blend raw ingredients without pre-cooking?

Yes, the appliance allows blending without cooking (e.g., fruits, liquids). However, do not exceed the maximum level (MAX) of the bowl and do not blend for more than 30 consecutive seconds. The appliance is not designed for chopping hard ingredients like ice cubes.

How to reheat food using the storage pot?

Place the blended food in the storage pot (120 ml or 240 ml). Pour 160 ml of water into the tank (for 120 ml) or up to the MAX mark (for 240 ml). Place the pot upside down on the support in the bowl, close the lid, invert the bowl onto the main unit and select the corresponding heating time (15 min for 120 ml, 25 min for 240 ml).

What to do if steam escapes from the water tank?

Check that the water tank lid is properly locked (icon aligned). Also make sure the bowl is correctly assembled on the main unit. Clean the steam outlet of the lid if it is blocked by residue or limescale.

Why does the appliance not start?

The appliance is equipped with a safety lock: all parts must be correctly assembled. For steaming, the bowl must be placed vertically with the lid underneath. For blending, the bowl is placed with the lid on top and locked by turning clockwise.

How to clean the blade assembly?

Handle the blades with care (very sharp). Rinse immediately under the tap, including the inside of the tube. All parts except the main unit are dishwasher-safe. Do not use abrasive products.

How often should the appliance be descaled?

Descaling every 4 weeks is recommended for optimal performance. Use a mixture of 80 ml of white vinegar (6%) and 80 ml of water, or citric acid. Leave for 6 hours or overnight, then rinse thoroughly.

Can the storage pots be used in the microwave?

Yes, the storage pots can be used in the microwave for reheating, provided you remove the lid. Beware of hot spots: stir well and test the temperature before serving. Do not use the grill function.

What to do if the steam light flashes and the appliance beeps?

This indicates that the bowl has been incorrectly placed or removed during operation, or that the water quantity is insufficient. Set the button to the OFF position, check the water, and reposition the bowl correctly. If the problem persists, descale the tank.

Before first use

1 Remove all packaging material from the appliance.
2 Clean all parts thoroughly before first use. Refer to the chapter "Cleaning and descending".
3 We recommend running one steaming cycle with an empty jar before using the appliance for the first time. Refer to chapters "Filling the water tank" and "Steaming".

Using the appliance

Caution

• Always check the temperature of the cooked food on the back of your hand to make sure it is safe for your baby.

This appliance is intended for steaming fresh, solid ingredients and blending them to the consistency of your choice. Please refer to the enclosed recipe booklet for some tasty and nutritious recipe ideas. The appliance can also be used for just steaming or blending only. For blending only, refer to the chapter "Blending without steaming".

This appliance can also be used to defrost or reheat cooked food that has been stored in the specially designed storage pots. Always use these storage pots to defrost or reheat blended foods. Defrosting or reheating without the storage pots will cause the food to drop through the sieve into the jar lid.

Never put the jar with blended food inside in the steaming position on the main unit.

Never steam the same batch of raw ingredients for longer than 30 minutes or more than once.

This appliance is NOT intended for the following purposes.

• Steaming frozen raw ingredients
• Steaming previously blended food without the storage pot
• Steaming the same ingredients for more than 30 minutes
• Cooking rice and pasta
• Blending first, then steaming
• Heating or reheating liquids such as soup, sauces or water
• Keeping food warm for several hours
• Cutting hard ingredients such as ice cubes and sugar cubes, or sticky ingredients like cheese

Filling the water tank

Note

• Make sure that the water in the tank does not exceed the MAX water level marking on the side of the water tank (250 ml) or the MAX water level indication in the water tank.
• We recommend using soft or purified water, as the minerals in mineral or tap water cause limescale buildup to occur more quickly inside the water tank.
  Except for materials needed for descaling, never put any liquids other than water in the water tank.

1 Turn the water tank lid counterclockwise to open the water tank (fig 4), then follow the water level markings on the water tank and fill with water to the required level according to the chapter "Ingredients and steaming time" in the user manual or the enclosed recipe booklet (Fig. 5).
2 Put the water tank lid on the water tank and turn the lid clockwise to lock it securely in place (Fig. ⑥).

When the water tank lid is correctly locked in place, the icon on the water tank lid will line up with the icon on the water tank.

Note

• Always make sure that you have locked the water tank lid before the appliance starts operating.

Steaming

Caution

• Hot steam or hot water can burn your fingers. Do not touch, and never let children touch any hot parts of the appliance or the steam coming from the top of the appliance, as this may cause scalding. (Fig. ⑦).

Note

• Always defrost frozen raw ingredients before placing them in the jar for steaming. Shake off any excess water from the defrosted ingredients before placing them in the jar.
• Do not fill past the top edge of the plastic part of blade unit when adding ingredients.
• Never put water or any other liquid in the jar for steaming to avoid damaging the appliance.
• The appliance will not start steaming if the jar is not correctly locked in place.
• Make sure that the sealing ring is assembled around the jar lid before steaming, and that the flat side of the sealing ring is facing out.

For optimum performance, we recommend descending the appliance every 4 weeks. To reduce the build up of limescale, we recommend using soft or purified water for steaming, reheating or defrosting.

To descale the appliance, follow the descending instructions below.

1 Make sure the appliance is switched off.
2 Mix 80ml of white vinegar (6% acetic acid) with 80ml of water, or you can use citric acid with warm water to descale the water tank.
3 Add the solution to the boiler in the water tank.
4 Put the water tank lid on the water tank and turn the lid clockwise to lock it securely in place.
5 Wait for 6 hours/overnight or until all limescale has dissolved.
6 Pour the used solution out of the water tank (Fig. 34).
7 If the limescale buildup has not completely dissolved, repeat the descending cycle from step 1 to 6 in this chapter.
Pour some fresh water into the water tank (Fig. 5) and flush it out (Fig. 34). Repeat as necessary until the water tank is clean.
9 Rinse the water tank lid thoroughly under the tap.
10 Fill the water tank with 200ml of water and let the appliance complete a 20-minute steaming cycle with the empty jar before you use the appliance with food again.
