How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning steam outlets. Steam can cause severe burns.
- 1. Clean steam outlet: Remove the lid and carefully clean the steam outlet channels with a soft brush or cloth.
- 2. Descale: Run a descaling cycle using an approved descaler, focusing on the bowl and lid areas where steam condenses.
- 3. Avoid thick liquids: Do not use thick sauces or purees in steaming mode unless the manual explicitly allows it.
- 4. Test with water only: After cleaning, run a short steaming program with water only to verify operation.
- 5. If error persists: The steam temperature sensor or related circuitry may be faulty and require service.
