Frequently Asked Questions
Question
How do I clean or descale the heating plate or steam tank for my Baby Brezza Sterilizer or Food Maker (any model)?
Answer
We recommend using Baby Brezza Descaler to remove mineral scale from any of your Baby Brezza appliances which also extends your appliance’s useful life. White distilled vinegar can also be used. Mineral scale occurs when minerals in the water you’re using are left behind after the water evaporates. These minerals discolor your heating plate and can affect its performance over time. Monthly descaling helps to prevent this. You can also use Distilled Water which is free of minerals.

Question
Why Is My Baby Brezza food maker beeping when I press start?
Answer
Why Is My Baby Brezza Food Maker Beeping When I Press Start?
If your Baby Brezza Food Maker is beeping when you press start, it’s likely due to one of two common reasons:
- Insufficient Water in the Water Tank – The machine requires a certain amount of water to steam the food. If there isn’t enough water in the tank, it will beep as a warning.
- Lid Not Properly Seated – If the lid of the bowl is not properly secured, the machine will beep to alert you that it’s not in the correct position.
How to Resolve the Issue:
- Fill the Water Tank – Ensure there’s enough water in the tank to steam the food.
- Check the Lid – Make sure the lid is properly seated and securely closed.
Once you’ve addressed these two points, the beeping should stop, and your Baby Brezza Food Maker should work as expected.
