DESCALING
CAUTION: Unplug from outlet and allow to cool for 60 minutes before descaling.
Mineral deposits, like limescale, may form on the metal heating element in the base. As the
mineral deposits build, it can slow or disrupt the sterilization cycle. Depending on the water
type in your area, mineral deposits may vary in appearance but the harder the water, the
quicker it builds up. Mineral deposits are not known to be harmful, but they may impair the
function of appliances or damage components. Using distilled water can help prevent
buildup, but regular descaling is needed for best performance. To remove the mineral
deposits, follow the steps below.
• Remove the lower rack, tray and lid from the base.
• Descale utilizing a mixture of vinegar/water:
• Fill measuring cup to the dashed line (80 mL) with white vinegar.
• Add an additional 30 mL of distilled water to reach the solid FILL LINE of the
measuring cup (110 mL total).
• Pour the mixture ONTO THE HEATING PLATE
.
• Reassemble empty unit.
• Plug into wall outlet, press the Power Button and run a Sterilize Only cycle.
• Empty any remaining solution and rinse with clean water.
Note: Do not use bleach, harsh abrasives or solvents to clean the heating plate,
as they may cause permanent damage and may void the warranty.
