Cleaning
Before cleaning, disconnect the power
supply and remove all loose fittings.
The appliance is best cleaned using
lukewarm water with a little mild, perfume-
free detergent. Never use cleaning agents
that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with
clean water and dry thoroughly. It is
important to prevent water from entering the
control panel.
The sealing strip around the lid must be
cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration
and prolong service life. Use clean water.
After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it
continues to provide a tight seal.
It is recommended that the wire and tubular
condensers on the rear of the appliance be
cleaned.
The ventilation grille must also be kept free
of dust and dirt. Clean it with a vacuum
cleaner.
If the appliance is not to be used for any
length of time, switch it off, disconnect the
power supply, empty it, clean the inside and
leave the lid open to allow air circulation
and prevent smells.

- Keep the lid closed as much as possible.

becomes excessively thick.
