While Babycook® Plus has 2 steaming chambers, it only has 1 motor for blending. Once food is steamed on either side of the appliance, simply place the bowl in which you would like to blend on the right side of the machine and follow the blending instructions found in your manual or on this site.
Yes, Babycook® Plus has 2 separate steam reservoirs and 2 steam buttons so you can cook 2 meals simultaneously.
Babycook® comes assembled and ready to use. However, before use BÉABA recommends the following:
BEFORE USING BABYCOOK TO COOK FOOD:
1. Please rinse the accessories (bowl, steam tank, basket and lid) with clean water.
2. Complete 3 COOKING CYCLES with only water and no food in the bowl. Use fresh, clean water for
each cycle.
3. When done, rinse the accessories in hot water.
4. Wash your hands well with soap and water before handling your baby’s products and food.
Babycook® is now ready to use!
If you have a clear bowl, the bowl is made of Copolyester. The inside steam basket is made from transparent Polypropylene. Both materials are BPA-free, lead-free and phthalate-free.
Babycook® reheats food using steam. Food should be placed inside a heat resistant bowl or a BÉABA Portions Container, and then inside the steam-cooking basket (the one with holes). Pour 2 measures of water into the heating reservoir and start a cooking cycle. When the sound signals the end of the cycle, remove the container with a dry cloth. Caution: the residual water is very hot at the end of the cooking cycle. Mix the contents with the included spatula to obtain an even temperature.
Babycook® reheats food using steam. Food should be placed inside a heat resistant bowl (without lid) or a BÉABA Portions Container (without lid), and then inside the steam-cooking basket (the one with holes). Pour one measure of water into the heating reservoir and start a cooking cycle. When the sound signals the end of the cycle, remove the container with a dry cloth. Caution: the residual water is very hot at the end of the cooking cycle. Mix the contents with the included spatula to obtain an even temperature.
Babycook® and plus shut off automatically when there is no water present in the steam reservoir. Best practices include unplugging the appliance when not in use.
Babycook® steam cooks foods very quickly and takes between 5 and 15 minutes depending on the amount of water in the heating reservoir. When steaming foods with high water content, such as string beans, zucchini, apples and pears, Babycook® runs for approximately 10 minutes with 2 measures of water. When steaming foods with low water content, such as potatoes, carrots, peas, red meat and poultry, Babycook® takes approximately 15 minutes with 3 measures of water. When reheating foods, cook with 1 measure of water (about 5 minutes).
2 years and the warranty covers against all manufacturing defects. Make sure to keep your proof of purchase for these 2 years to guarantee we can service properly any manufacturing defect. This guarantee is subject to normal use and complying with the instructions in the various information materials provided with the product (instructions, packaging, digital media) or publicly available on our websites.
This warranty applies to all products except for damages that would normally be incurred by fair wear and tear(e.g : Babycook knife, feeding bottle nipple, painted decoration, chair pad, etc.)
Don't worry, nothing is wrong with your Babycook®. The red light is just the descaling reminder light. The appliance is equipped with a cycle counter which indicates when your product requires descaling (50 cycles).
Follow the instructions for descaling; you can find the instructions in your manual or on this site.
Instructions on how to descale your Babycook®:
it helps to prolong your appliance’s life span.
Procedure and Product Reset (To reset cooking cycle countdown)
NOTE:
- Be sure not to run the cooking cycle until the reservoir is completely clean and not with descaling liquid, just clear water. Otherwise, you are just "baking" the build-up onto the sides of the reservoir.
- Once the reservoir is clean, be sure to descale your Babycook® at the first sign of build-up. Keeping the reservoir clean is much easier than trying to remove stubborn build-up.
- Ensuring you use the mixing lid will keep any food debris from re-entering and contaminating the steam heating compartment, which will make your Babycook® last longer.
- Depending to the type of water you have, you may have to descale your appliance more often.
- You can also reset Babycook without descaling it. However, we strongly advise you to do so because it helps to prolong your appliance’s life span.
- After each use, and for tank maintenance, the Babycook tank must be emptied and left to dry for 2 hours before closing the tank lid
When the steam button turns red, it is necessary to descale the heating reservoir. The appliance is equipped with a cycle counter which indicates when your product requires descaling (50 cycles).
Follow the instructions for descaling; you can find the instructions in your manual or on this site.

When the gasket is properly cleaned (not suitable for the dishwasher) and properly attached, there is no need to change it. However it will wear over time and with use, so check that it is still sealing properly each time you use Babycook®. You can order spare parts by contact us at contactasia@beaba.com or contact your local distributor.
Yes of course! See attached video to see exactly how to remove and reattach Babycook® and plus lids.
Babycook® parts are not suitable for sterilizing.
Always unplug the appliance before you start cleaning it. Immediately rinse the accessories that have come into contact with the food under running water. Wash with warm soapy water. After cleaning the blade, make sure that the gasket and seal are reattached properly. Never submerge the appliance in water. The bowl, basket, lid and spatula are top-rack dishwasher safe.
NOTE: After each use, and for tank maintenance, the Babycook tank must be emptied and left to dry for
2 hours before closing the tank lid.

Then make sure the lid is also locked by re-opening it and then closing it while pressing on the rubber arrow on top of the locking arm that holds the lid until you hear a click. Check out the video attached to this article for more info on this.
- You have not pressed the round steam button. You will know that the button is pressed and a heat cycle is in progress when the steam button is back-lit.

If you notice a brown deposit (lime scale) in your heating reservoir, you'll need to descale your appliance. Instructions for descaling are located in your product manual or on this site.
Please note: this is not toxic to your infant.
