Yes, the bowl and the accessories are dishwasher safe. However, washing by hand is recommended. If dishwashing, use mild detergents such as a pure liquid, gel or powder rather than the tablets or sachets as these can be very corrosive.
When you have finished your dishes, before cleaning: • Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. • Do not touch the inner lid while it is hot.
Warning: Do not use water to clean the interior of the appliance body as it could damage the heat sensor.
Cleaning the bowl and the accessories • Remove the paddle from the bowl to clean it. • If food is stuck to the bottom of the bowl, pour some water into the bowl and leave to soak for a while before washing up. • It is recommended to wash the the bowl and the accessories thoroughly after every use in hot soapy water. • Dry off the cooking bowl and accessories thoroughly after each cleaning.
Cleaning the lid IMPORTANT: - It is recommended to clean the interior of the lid after each use to avoid hard stains which will become very difficult to remove. - The lid and the seal should not be dismantled. - It is recommended to avoid metallic and abrasive cleaning products.
• To clean any dirty residues around the seal, it is recommended to use food-safe sanitizing wipes, damp cloth or non-abrasive sponge with hot water. • To clean the steam outlet, it is recommended to use a small bottle brush, dipped in a hot water. • To clean off stains on the metallic ring of the hot plate: 1) Ensure the power is disconnected from the appliance. 2) Use a damp cloth to wipe the heater cover, applying a small amount of 1:20 citric acid water solution on the cloth (eg. 10ml citric acid : 200ml water). 3) Power on the machine and add 200ml of clean water to the bowl. Close the lid and use the "Steam" function for steam cleaning for 15 minutes. 4) Use a wet cloth to wipe away any remaining stains. 5) After cleaning, pour out the wastewater from the bowl and place the machine in a well-ventilated area to dry thoroughly before reconnecting it to power for use.
Air-Fry programs: All programs use the top heating element (air-fry lid). In particular "Crispy Meal", "Steam & Crisp" and "Bread" use both top and bottom heating elements at different cooking stages (not simultaneously).
Multicook programs: All programs use the bottom heating element only.
