    Complete set up section before first using the unit.

    Please refer to instructions leaflet before use and remember to clean and descale your unit regularly. WARNING! Handle the blade carefully as it is extremely sharp. Care should be taken when handling the sharp blades, emptying the bowl and during cleaning.

  • How to set up?

    Complete this set up section before first using the unit.

    Wash blade, jug, basket, sealing ring and lid in soapy water then dry and reassemble (see Reassemble Blade instructions). Place unit on a clean, dry kitchen work surface.

  • How to use?

    For your child’s safety always check food temperature before feeding. This unit can steam and blend vegetables, fruits (peeled and cored/pips removed), meats and fish (with bones removed). All food must be diced into approximately 1-2cm cubes before being placed into the jug or basket for cooking. Cooking times can be found in these instructions and for recipes visit tommeetippee.com. During the steaming process hot steam passes through the vent at the back of the unit. Position this unit away from walls and make sure it is not underneath any overhanging shelves or cabinets.

    1. Place unit on a flat dry kitchen work surface. Place jug or basket with diced food in unit and lock in place using the locking dial. Steam no more than 200gms in one cycle. Fill water tank with 350ml of cold water and replace the cap.
    2. Plug unit into mains power supply, the unit will beep. Press the power button to turn on the unit. The LCD display will illuminate.
    3. CYCLE OPTIONS

      a. TO SET AN AUTOMATIC STEAM TO BLEND CYCLE: Use jug with no basket, ensure correct lid orientation.

          1. Press the function button and choose steam option. Set the steam time using the +/- buttons. The maximum steam time is 30 minutes.
          2. Press the function button and choose blend option. Set the blend time using the +/- buttons. Maximum blend time of 2 minutes.
          3. Press the select button to start. The unit will now run the steam and blend cycle automatically. When setting the automatic cycle, the blend time can be set first, but the unit will always start with the steam cycle first. During the automatic steam and blend cycle, the blades will rotate once every 2 minutes to move food around the container. When cooking meat, it is extremely important to pause the unit every 10 minutes and stir food thoroughly. This is to ensure even cooking.

      b. STEAM AND BLEND WITH BASKET: Reduced water for a chunkier texture.

        1. Ensure the food is placed in the steaming basket, the lip of the basket is resting in place on the edge of the jug and the lid is in the correct orientation. (see parts guide)
        2. Set the steam time using the +/- buttons. Maximum steam time of 30 minutes.
        3. Press the select button to start. The unit will now run a steam cycle.
        4. Wait for the steam basket to cool, unclip the lock and remove from the unit. Remove the water from the jug then transfer the steamed food into the jug. Ensure the lid orientation is changed to show the food is now in the jug.
        5. Press the function button and choose the blend option, set the blend time using the +/- buttons. The maximum blend time is 2 minutes.
        6. Press the select button to start. The unit will now start a blend cycle.

      c. TO SET A STEAM ONLY CYCLE: Our recommendation is to use the basket, especially for baby stages where a chunkier texture is required. Please ensure lid is in the correct orientation.

        1. STEAMING WITHOUT BASKET
          1. Press the function button and choose the steam option, set the steam time using the +/- buttons. The maximum steam time is 30 minutes.
          2. Press the select button to start. The unit will now run a steam cycle.
        2. STEAMING WITH BASKET
          1. Set the steam time using the +/- buttons. The maximum steam time is 30 minutes.
          2. Press the select button to start. The unit will now run a steam cycle.

      d. TO SET A BLEND ONLY CYCLE: Use the jug with no basket, ensure correct orientation with lid.

          1. Press the function button and choose blend option. Set the blend time using the +/- buttons. Maximum blend time of 2 minutes.
          2. Press the select button to start. The unit will now run a blend cycle. To control the texture of the food a pulse blend can be set. Press the select button, then function, choose the blend only option, select the time (using 5 second intervals), press select. The unit will pulse once. Repeat the above process for a further pulse.
    4. When the cycle has finished the unit will beep, the LCD display will turn off. During steaming water will collect in the jug. In stage 1 weaning, where food consistency should be a smooth puree, we recommend that you stir in this nutrient rich water. In later weaning stages, when thicker textures are required, we would recommend removing some/all of this water depending on your baby’s preference. Steam and blend separately with the addition of the steam basket and there will be no water mixed with the food. Leave the unit to stand for 2 mins before unlocking jug and decanting food into storage. Take care when removing the jug and lid as steam may still be present and jug hot to touch.
    5. Turn unit off at the power supply and unplug the unit. Disassemble blade from the jug and wash all parts in warm soapy water.
    6. If preparing another batch of food straight away, make sure that you top up the water tank with more water. You must wait for the unit to cool before topping up the water tank.

The descaling process will remove deposits of calcium and other minerals in the system that may affect its performance.

  • Cleaning

    Turn off at the power supply, unplug the unit and allow unit to cool down completely before cleaning. Before first use and after every use wash the jug, lid and basket in warm soapy water or use a dishwasher (top shelf only) and dry thoroughly. Wash the blade, sealing ring and locking ring in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.

    PLEASE NOTE THE BLADE, SEALING RING AND LOCKING RING ARE NOT DISHWASHER SAFE.

    WARNING! Handle the blade carefully as it is extremely sharp. Care shall be taken when handling the sharp blades, emptying the jug and during cleaning. After every use wipe the jug housing with a damp cloth but do not submerge in water. Do not clean with abrasive cleaners or allow to come in to contact with solvents or harsh chemicals, damage could result.

  • Descaling

    You should descale the water tank of your Baby Food Maker every 4 weeks, however if you notice limescale earlier, descaling may be required sooner. Unplug the unit and allow to cool before cleaning. After each use allow to cool before pouring away remaining water from the water tank by tipping the unit sideways over a sink. A build-up of limescale can negatively affect the performance of the unit. Living in a hard water area can produce limescale quicker than other areas therefore descaling is required sooner. Use a descaler that is suitable for use with stainless steel and use as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. Alternatively, you can use white vinegar to descale your unit, please use as per manufacturer’s guidelines. Once you have descaled then follow instructions under SET UP to perform a final cleaning cycle. You may need to repeat the process if you find that limescale is still present. DO NOT use metal objects or scourers to clean your unit. DO NOT use bleach to clean the unit. DO NOT use abrasive or anti-bacterial materials.
