We recommend descaling (cleaning) your Babycook® reservoir every 6-8 uses. The Babycook® steam light will turn red as a recommended cleaning alert (or "cycle counter"). Should you ever notice your steam cycles running shorter than usual or there is water remaining in the reservoir after the steam cycle completes, it is time to descale your machine.
Instructions on how to descale your Babycook®:
• Only use white distilled vinegar – no sugar contained or the BEABA Descaling Liquid for Babycook.
• Never use a chemical descaler or a coffee machine descaler in the reservoir.
• Never warm the white vinegar or the BEABA Cleaning product for BABYCOOK. This is a cold unheated process.
•Unplug your appliance, descaling should be done cold and does not require a heating cycle.
•Pour a mixture of 110 ml (1/2 cup) of water and 110 ml (1/2 cup) of white distilled vinegar – no sugar contained or the BEABA Descaling Liquid for Babycook into the reservoir.
•Leave to soak overnight with the lid open.
•Remove the lid from the arm. IV
•Empty the contents of the reservoir by turning the product upside down. VI
•Rinse the reservoir with water at least 3 times making sure to empty its contents each time.
•Replace the lid by clipping it firmly on to the arm.
•Run 3 cooking cycles with plain water to clear out the taste.
•Repeat as many times as necessary until clean.
•Rinse the bowl with water before using it.
•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.
Procedure and Product Reset (To reset cooking cycle countdown)
•Unplug appliance from mains
•Check that tank is empty
•Remove the cooking bowl
•Plug the appliance to mains
•Place the bowl on the base
•Close the lid
•Press down on steam button for at least 20 sec to 1 minute.
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
Don't worry, nothing is wrong with your Babycook. The red light is just the descaling reminder light. Follow the instructions for descaling; you can find the instructions in your manual or on this site. Once you have descaled with our Beaba descaler or a white vinegar, it is important that you unplug the unit for several minutes. Then, plug it back in. Lock your Blending Bowl(s) in to place (Listen For Click) press down on arrows at the top of your lid to assure your lid is locked, and then PRESS and HOLD the steam button down for 30 seconds to reset the cycle counter. The steam button will turn white again.
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 Pro takes approximately 15 minutes with 3 measures of water. When reheating foods, cook with 1 measure of water (about 5 minutes).
Water level 1: Approximately 5 minutes
Water level 2: Approximately 10 minutes
Water level 3: Approximately 15 minutes
*Babycook will never dry boil your food. The steam cycle will only continue as long as there is water in the reservoir. If after a steam cycle is completed there is water remaining in your reservoir, it may be time to descale your machine (to remove the limescale build-up in your reservoir, which is caused by minerals found naturally in water).
Babycook parts are not suitable for sterilizing. Instead, we recommend washing by hand using warm, soapy water.

varying elements like bottle material, volume of milk/
water/food, the room temperature, etc.

appliance and restart the same mode to heat again
until the temperature desired.

Babymilk
If you choose to heat breast milk in a bag in BabyMilk, we suggest that you verify with the bag's manufacturer that it is safe to be heated.
When using the BabyMilk to sterilize, we recommend turning the knob to '5', which is the longest setting.
Depending on the portion of food you are trying to defrost, we recommend turning the knob to '5'.
The BabyMilk is compatible with almost all bottles. Note that the nipple of the bottle should always be removed when using, so that the milk is heated up as evenly as possible. We always recommend waiting a moment or two and mixing the milk before giving it to your baby.
No, the BabyMilk runs on electricity so it must be plugged in to work.
If you do not want to refill the BabyMilk every time you're using it, we recommend filling the BabyMilk to the MAX fill line. The amount of water you'll need to add for a single use varies based on how much milk/food you're warming, the starting temperature of the milk/food (frozen, room temperature, etc.)
The BabyMilk is 220V.
