Care rules

But having already prepared their first dish, many women do not know how to properly clean the appliance. There are those who use a dishwasher for these purposes, although the manufacturers categorically do not recommend doing this.

Ceramic or Teflon

Teflon bowls allow you to cook any food, even without adding oil. Teflon is very easy to use. Food does not stick to it, which means that nothing will have to be peeled off and rubbed. But this statement is only true for an intact coating.

Teflon is plastic. The uniqueness of this coating is slip and resistance to high temperatures (up to 260 degrees). In addition, it does not interact with acid or alkali. Unfortunately, such a coating is easily scratched and exposed to mechanical damage. Even careful attitude will not allow to extend the service life of the Teflon bowl for more than three years. And especially durable coatings, which are difficult to damage even with a knife, are very expensive.

Choosing a multicooker with a Teflon coating, you need to take care of special detergents. Do not use powders or abrasive gels. Hard sponges will not work either. As a result of their use, the coating of the bowl will be damaged, and in the future the food will always burn. A soft sponge and a kitchen balm or gel with delicate cleaning agents in the composition will help to wash the multicooker inside.

An alkaline medium can damage the ceramic coating, therefore, under no circumstances should such a bowl be washed in the dishwasher. Only mild alkali-free products need to be selected. During cleaning, it is necessary to ensure that the bowl does not slip out of wet hands, as it quickly becomes covered with cracks and chips when dropped.

The ceramic bowl, like the Teflon bowl, can only be washed after it has completely cooled down. Temperature differences can damage the protective layer.The multicooker must be disconnected from the power supply and only then remove its elements for cleaning.

It is important to ensure that the food does not burn. This will keep the bowl in working order for longer.

Burning can be avoided if you follow some important rules:

1. Set the temperature according to the instructions.
2. Do not exceed the permissible amount of food.
3. Clean valves in time.
4. Rinse off food residues after each preparation.

To remove burnt food, you need to pour good quality dish gel and some warm water into the bowl. The container must be left for several hours. Then you should gently remove the dirt without pressing and rinse the bowl under running water.

Cover cleaning

Some models have a non-removable cover. It is much more difficult to wash it. Such a cover is cleaned in two stages. First, a glass of water is poured into the bowl and the steam mode is turned on for 15 minutes. This helps to remove carbon deposits and dried food.

Then, when the multicooker cools down, wrap its body in a bag or cling film, and open the lid. By gently tilting the multicooker, you can wash the lid

But you need to do this carefully so as not to wet the case.

Cleaning the case

If water gets into the case, you need to dry it with a hairdryer. After that, it is not recommended to use the multicooker for three to four days. You can't connect it to an outlet either.

After cleaning, it is important to ensure that moisture does not remain on the heating element, otherwise mold may develop there.

During cooking, moisture accumulates on the lid, then it enters the moisture trap and is retained there. After each cooking, it must be removed and rinsed under running water, then blotted with a dry napkin.

Excess steam is removed from the appliance by a steam valve. When it is clogged, the milk porridge can escape. A clogged valve not only affects the quality of the cooked food, but can also lead to breakdown of the entire appliance, so the valve must be thoroughly rinsed using any degreasing dishwashing detergent.

A few important tips on how to wash the multicooker inside:

1. The first cleaning should be done immediately after purchasing the device. Take a soft cloth and warm water. If there is an unpleasant odor, you can use a regular detergent.
2. The multicooker should be taken care of every time after use. Greasy traces must be removed not only from the walls, but also from the heating element, lid and moisture collector.
3. Cleaning the multicooker begins after the appliance has completely cooled down.
4. It is strictly forbidden to treat the surface with hard brushes, abrasive cleaning agents.

If the food begins to burn to the bottom during cooking, this indicates that the device is being washed poorly or the non-stick coating has been damaged.

Care and prevention rules

To save time and effort in the fight against heavy dirt, it is important to systematically care for the multicooker and do its preventive cleaning.

Cleaning after every cooking

After cooking, it is necessary to wash the equipment with a soapy solution: clean the bowl, steam valve, rubber seal, lid and moisture trap. Then the elements are rinsed and wiped dry.

Do not cover with a towel while cooking

The cooking temperature is set in the selected program. There is no need to close the multi-pot additionally. Air circulation is disturbed, the temperature changes. Food begins to spill out of the bowl, into the steam valve and onto the heating element. Trust your home appliances, it is not recommended to use additional accessories.

Choosing the right cleaning agent

The amount of time and effort spent on achieving the result depends on the chosen tool. Choose household chemicals with the lowest toxicity. It is better to give preference to natural remedies.Be sure to rinse off residues from surfaces.

Do not leave cooked food inside the bowl

Violation of this rule leads to the formation of a musty unpleasant smell inside the multicooker. After cooking, the food is immediately transferred to a storage container or a regular pot. Even if the dish has stood in the multicooker bowl for only 24 hours, it will take some time to get rid of the smell of the “former” food.

Do not use metal cutlery

Do not use a knife or other metal utensils to remove stubborn or burnt-on stains in the multicooker. Scratches will remain on the surfaces, the result will not please, the technique may be damaged.

Recommendations

To make the hostess happy with the result of washing your beloved assistant, you can use the following recommendations:

1. If it is possible to unscrew the removable elements, do it.
2. Never use powders or other products with abrasive components.
3. Avoid temperature extremes, do not wash the multicooker with cold water.
4. After finishing washing, wipe the kitchen unit dry.

The quality of the multicooker cleaning depends on the choice of detergent.

Dishwashing liquid gel

Light daily dirt, deposits and grease are perfectly removed with a traditional liquid gel dishwashing detergent

After washing, it is important to completely rinse off the residues of the product and wipe the multicooker with a soft cloth dry

A soft sponge or cloth to wipe dry

When choosing a material for wiping, you should pay attention to the napiness of the napkin, rag or sponge. On the surface of the multicooker, especially on the heating element, there should be no pellets and hairs

They can burn or get into food. In addition, the napkin should be soft so as not to leave micro-scratches and damages on the surface.

How do I clean the bottom?

The bottom of the multicooker is cleaned when the heating element has cooled down. Insignificant dirt can be easily removed with a damp cloth. When removing burnt fat, you can use baking soda or citric acid, which has a double effect: it removes stubborn stains and unpleasant odors, and also disinfects the surface. The bottom can be cleaned with cotton pads and a soft, lint-free cloth.

How do I clean the lid?

The lid of the multicooker is in close contact with the food being cooked. Consists of a steam valve, a surface and a rubber seal. To clean the lid properly, the elements must be disconnected.

Removable

All removable elements of the multicooker are washed separately, cleaned of old dirt, thoroughly rinsed, wiped dry and collected.

Fixed

When washing a fixed lid, cover the main part of the kitchen appliance with polyethylene and tilt it over the sink. After carrying out all the manipulations, household appliances are rinsed and wiped dry.

Cleaning the trash can

The moisture trap collects condensation and moisture residues after cooking. It must be washed after every cooking. The collected water is drained, and the container itself is washed with soapy water and wiped off with a soft sponge.

How to clean the steam valve

The correct taste and aroma of cooked dishes depends on the cleanliness of the steam valve (be it a Redmond or Polaris multicooker). If the steam valve is dirty, the steam does not find an outlet from the body of the pan, the cooked food "runs away", and often floods the heating element.

Leftover food and fat particles create an unpleasant smell inside the multicooker. First of all, the valve is washed with running warm water, then it is cleaned with a brush from dirt using citric acid, rinsed, wiped dry and set in place.

From the outside, the multicooker is cleaned using household chemicals. Melamine sponges and scouring powders can be used.In order to remove fingerprints from chrome-plated surfaces, you can use products containing ammonia.

Folk ways

If the store tool is not at hand, use the helpers that are available in the kitchen. They handle greasy dirt or food debris well and will not damage the finish.

Laundry soap

A versatile product that tackles almost any kind of dirt. Using it, try to clean the lid of the multicooker from traces of grease.

Lather up the soap and apply to a sponge. Rub the surface with the hard side of the sponge and let the solution sit for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse off the substance with water and wipe the cover with a dry soft cloth. For best results, add a few drops of dish detergent to the soapy water.

Laundry soap not only removes grease and dirt, but also removes extraneous odors.

Lemon water

If the oily stains are too old, lemon juice can help soften them. Mix 1 liter of water with the juice of one lemon and pour into a bowl. Turn on steam cooking for 10 minutes. During this time, citric acid vapors will get onto dirt and soften dried food and fat residues.

You can also wipe the lid with a cloth dipped in water with citric acid or juice.

Vinegar

With the help of vinegar, you can eliminate not only dirt, but also an unpleasant smell.

Dissolve 1 tbsp in a liter of warm water. spoon 9% vinegar and wipe the surfaces. For stubborn dirt, use the steam function. Pour a glass of water into a bowl and add 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Turn on the appropriate mode for 10 minutes, and after it ends, wipe the bowl and lid first with a damp and then with a dry cloth.

Soda

Soda is an excellent antiseptic that absorbs dirt and odors.

Prepare a soda gruel with 50 ml water and 3-5 tablespoons of baking soda. Apply the mixture to a sponge and wipe away the stains. Leave the substance to act for 10-15 minutes and then wash off with warm water. Finally, wipe all surfaces with a dry cloth.

Please note that it is not recommended to wash the Teflon or ceramic bowl with baking soda, as its particles can damage the coating

How can I clean the inside of the multicooker from fat and carbon deposits

Often, after cooking various dishes, food particles and water remain at the bottom of the device, for this reason it is worth knowing in advance how to wash the multicooker inside and do it correctly. Since the heating element of the device is located exactly at the bottom, the cleaning process should be as careful as possible: first, you will need to wipe the inside of the surface with wet wipes.

Carbon deposits on the heating element

Dust or water often accumulates on the outer surface of the appliance body after steam cooking. The steamer usually causes excess moisture to accumulate, which must be wiped off with dry cloths. You can clean the outside of the multicooker with a damp sponge or wet wipes and then wipe it dry after the end of the procedure.

The bowl is the most important element of the multicooker. It is she who is in constant and direct contact with food. If the remnants of a cooked meal stick to the sides or bottom of the bowl, your new culinary masterpiece runs the risk of burning or getting an unpleasant aftertaste. To avoid this, you need to keep the bowl perfectly clean.

Never wash the bowl in the dishwasher. Manufacturers often cover this removable element with a non-stick coating that is very easy to damage. The Redmond multicooker is a prime example. Only a hand wash will be gentle enough to preserve the integrity of the thermostatic layer.

To preserve the non-stick coating, wash the bowl while it is cold. From sharp temperatures, the coating may burst (for the same reason, it is not recommended to place the multicooker container in the refrigerator).Use the most gentle, non-abrasive detergents to remove grease.

You can avoid an unpleasant situation with a burnt dish if:

• do not put more than the permissible volume in the bowl;
• wash off food leftovers from past cooking sessions;
• make sure that the valves are not clogged;
• set the cooking temperature according to the instructions.

The hostesses of this miracle combine are constantly wondering whether it is possible to wash the lid of the multicooker. The situation becomes especially controversial if the cover is not removable, since it is contraindicated to completely immerse electrical appliances in water.

To clean the removable lid of the multicooker, carefully remove it and wipe thoroughly with dishwashing gel. Then blot with a towel and set back.

Digestion will help to wash the non-removable lid of the multicooker inside from dirt and greasy deposits. To do this, pour 400 ml of clean water into the multicooker bowl, and then throw a lemon wedge into the water. Place the food processor in the steamer mode for 20 minutes. Then drain the water, cover the multicooker with cellophane, leaving access to the lid and gently walk the sponge over the contaminated areas.

Periodically flush the steam valve from all sides by removing it from the cover body. It is easy to pull out, just like the inner disc (especially in the Polaris multicooker).

When you take the cooking bowl out of the multicooker, pay attention to the bottom. It can be stained with grease and burnt food debris.

You can remove all this "beauty" from the device with the help of soda. For this:

• wipe the bottom with a damp cloth;
• pour baking soda on the dirt;
• wait 15 minutes;
• gently, without scratching the surface of the bottom, remove the baking soda along with the fat with a soft cloth.

Even the heating element of a multicooker can become a victim of escaped soup or milk. It, like the bottom, will be easy to clean with baking soda and a soft cloth. Do not place the multicooker under running water. Instead, use absorbent wipes, which can easily pick up dirt from the shade from the baking soda.

Try to clean the multicooker in this way at least once a month, otherwise the heating device may fail from frequent contact with moisture.

Washing rules

When releasing a multicooker, the manufacturer suggests that you first familiarize yourself with the rules for caring for it:

• The first cleaning of the device should take place immediately after purchase. This will require a soft cloth (sponge) and warm water. If you find unpleasant odors, use dishwashing detergents or folk remedies;
• The multicooker should be cleaned after each use. It is recommended to remove fat from all elements of the mechanism design;
• Do not use rough cleaning methods (hard brushes and cloths). Cleaning from the inside is also done with soft materials.

Bowl and bottom cleaning

Washing the bowl and bottom requires care. Non-abrasive detergents are used

Wipe with a soft cloth both the inner layer of the container and the outer one, which is attached to the heating component. Depending on the type of bowl coating, the sink differs significantly.

Tips for removing fat from a Teflon bowl:

• A tandem of soft cloth (microfiber) and neutral gel (kitchen soap) is used;
• A spatula (silicone or wooden) is used to remove solidified dirt;

• Lemon juice drops are used to remove extraneous odors;
• The alternating use of cold and hot water is not allowed.

Tips for cleaning your ceramic bowl:

• Stubborn dirt is pre-soaked in warm water with the addition of a gel-like agent;
• Cleaning must be done with care and without sudden movements, avoiding the appearance of chips and cracks;

• The use of a dishwasher is not permitted. It is recommended to manually clean the surface without the use of alkalis and acids.
• Ceramics, by their composition, are easily exposed to mechanical damage, so you cannot knock on it and scrape it with iron tools.

Removing burnt fat inside a multicooker is a rather problematic task. To wash the bowl from this type of contamination, you must first soak it in warm water with a dishwashing gel for 30 minutes.

To remove grease stains, baking soda can be applied to a damp cloth and wiped on the bottom.

Steam valve and moisture trap

The function of the steam valve is steam output. The valve bore must be clean. This will prevent milk and porridge from escaping. You only need a degreasing agent to choose a cleanser. As it gets dirty, it is enough just to rinse it under running water, having previously treated it with a soapy sponge.

Body and cover

When cleaning the case with soapy water, make sure that no water gets inside. In case of contact, dry it thoroughly with a hairdryer. In this situation, you cannot turn on the multicooker to the mains for 2-3 days, otherwise the device will become unusable. Cleaning is carried out after every three food preparations in the appliance.

To clean the lid, you first need to remove it from the multicooker, then rinse it with dish soap and wipe it with a cotton cloth. It is then wiped dry and secured in place.

The lid, which cannot be removed from the multicooker, is cleaned in a different way - pour 250 g of water inside, add a slice of lemon and turn on the steam cooking mode for 15-20 minutes. To remove greasy deposits from the lid, a folk recipe is used using laundry soap.

Algorithm of work:

1. Rub the sponge with soap and gently apply the lather to the lid. Be careful not to get water on the inside of the multicooker.
2. As soon as the grease begins to lag, rinse off the greasy residue with a soft cloth.
3. If rubber parts are included in the lid structure, then food debris can also accumulate under them. The accumulated fat in such places can be removed with cotton swabs or toothpicks.

A heating element

Teng is the main element in food preparation. If this part is negligent, brown spots may develop on it. They are mainly formed by ingestion of food particles. It is forbidden to wash it with cleaning agents and soap.
