Daily Cleaning (After Each Use)
Short answer: Clean immediately after use to prevent bacteria and food residue buildup.
- Rinse blending cup, lid, and accessories with warm water
- Wash with mild dish soap
- Rinse thoroughly
- Air dry completely before storage
Cleaning feeding equipment after each use helps prevent bacteria growth and contamination. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Self-Clean Function
- Add ~100ml clean water to the blending cup
- Run self-clean cycle
- Rinse again after cleaning
Self-clean helps remove light residue but does not replace full manual cleaning.
Deep Cleaning (Weekly)
- Disassemble blade and sealing parts
- Clean hard-to-reach areas
- Remove food residue buildup
Regular deep cleaning prevents odor and performance issues.
Descaling (Very Important)
Why: Removes limescale buildup that affects heating and steam performance.
When to descale
- Every 2–4 weeks (depending on water hardness)
- If steam becomes weak
- If heating becomes slower
How to descale
- Mix vinegar + water (1:1 ratio)
- Pour into water tank
- Let sit 30 minutes to overnight
- Rinse thoroughly
- Run 1–2 steam cycles with clean water
Vinegar-based descaling is widely recommended to remove mineral buildup safely. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Common Cleaning Mistakes
- Not cleaning immediately after use
- Using dishwasher for non-safe parts
- Not descaling regularly
