Every owner of this convenient and multifunctional cooking appliance should know how to clean the multivark cover. After all, even with the quality and proper care of his bowl after a while, ready-made meals may have unpleasant or unnecessary notes.
In most cases, the reason for this development is the ignoring of the fact that the inside of the lid also needs to be cleaned regularly. Do not get frustrated ahead of time, there are several approaches to processing the functional surface, which can all normalize.
How to proceed if the cover is removed?
The simplest way is for those who have a removable cover. In this case, it is enough to do the following:
- Take a neutral dishwashing gel, a soft cloth, warm( but not hot) water.
- Gel is bred in water, the resulting solution gently washed the problem surface, trying not to touch the place of fasteners and rubber curbs. If necessary, you can leave the compound on the lid for a few minutes. It is strictly forbidden to soak the product, it can damage its fastening system.
Tip: The inside of the device is usually made of a material that is easily laundered from all kinds of dirt, even from grease. Only need to act immediately after using the device. If each time after cooking, wash not only the bowl of the product, but also gently wipe the inner surface of the lid, the need for its purposive cleaning will not even arise.
- After reaching the desired result, wash off the surface with soap foam. It is not recommended to apply gel on the material in its pure form, it is then very difficult to completely remove it!
- Rubber inserts should be gently wiped with a slightly damp cloth without detergent. Dry the part with a towel and put it back on the washed and dried multivark.
It is necessary to make sure that no liquid has entered the fastening system. Otherwise, this will lead to the accumulation of bacteria in this zone and even the rapid deterioration of the material. If this is allowed, then you will have to purchase a new device, becauserestore the old one will not be much cheaper.
What to do with a fixed cover?
To clean the model with a stationary cover, you will have to suffer a little. You can do this in one of the following ways:
- With a steam bath. At the bottom of the device pour a glass of water, squeezes into the liquid a little fresh lemon juice. Close the lid and start the unit for 15 minutes, using the "Steam cooking" mode. Now the lid can be cleaned. To do this, it is enough to use a gel for washing dishes, but in order not to spoil the device, its body will have to wrap the cellophane and turn so that only the lid is cleaned. Be sure to wash off the foam from the surface and as much as possible dry the treated areas with a towel.
- With the help of laundry soap. For a more aggressive approach, we need to soap a damp cloth with laundry soap and gently treat the lid, trying not to touch the other parts. After we managed to get rid of fat, take a clean rag, moisturize and wash off the foam. This approach, though it gives the best result, has its disadvantage - it will not be easy to get rid of the smell of laundry soap.
In the case of extreme pollution, these approaches can be combined. Against this can not stand even the most ancient dirt.
If cleaning the cover for a long time neglected, then most likely for rubber inserts will accumulate fat. To remove it, you can use toothpicks or cotton swabs. Only you need to act carefully, that the sides and after the treatment are adhered to the surface also tightly.
