 Check if any food particles have entered the water tank. You can do this by looking into the 

filling opening to see if there are any food particles in it or by checking if the water has an 

unusual colour and by smelling if the water tank produces an unpleasant or a burnt smell. If 

this is the case, clean the water tank (see section ‘Descaling the water tank’ in this chapter). 

 9 

 Leave the lid of the filling opening open to prevent bacterial growth.

If food particles enter the water tank, they may get stuck to the heating element in the water tank 

during the next steaming processes. These particles cannot be removed by just rinsing the water 

tank.

In addition, you have to descale the appliance every four weeks to ensure it continues to work 

100% effectively. To reduce scale build-up, it is helpful to use pre-boiled or filtered water in the 

appliance.
