• Any discolouration of the bowl will not affect its performance.
  Drain Hole
• Ensure this area is free from food. If necessary use a pipe cleaner or cotton bud to clean.
• Temperature sensors Wipe with a damp cloth then dry thoroughly. Never use abrasives or sharp instruments to clean the sensors.

Steamer Attachment
