Question

Answer

Why does water flow out of 

the steriliser?

You may have poured too much water into the steriliser. Do 

not pour more than 100ml water in the water reservoir.

Why are there white spots in 

the water reservoir, the baskets 

or the lid?

Scale build-up is normal and occurs more quickly in hard water 

areas. Descale the appliance regularly (see chapter ‘Descaling’).

Why does a lot of steam 

escape from under the lid? 

Check if the lid has been placed on the basket properly.

Why does the sterilisation 

process take so long?

You may have poured too much water into the steriliser (see 

chapter ‘Using the appliance’). The number of items placed in 

the baskets and the number of baskets used determine the 

actual sterilisation time.

Why is the sterilisation process 

so short?

You may have poured too little water into the steriliser (see 

chapter ‘Using the appliance’).

Why does the appliance start 

to heat up immediately when I 

plug it in?

You have pressed the power-on button before you plugged in 

the appliance. When you press the power-on button before 

you put the plug in the wall socket, the steriliser starts 

operating immediately when you plug it in.
