cleaning and maintenance
Before cleaning the appliance, switch it off by setting the thermostat knob to the OFF position
the socket.
Regularly clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with, for instance, washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaner
or soda in order to prevent nasty smells. Wipe the inside of the appliance after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe
everything dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours.
Clean the outside of the appliance and the rubbers with a soft damp cloth.
For areas in the appliance that are difficult to clean, such as small openings or corners, it is recommended wiping them clean
regularly with a soft cloth or brush. If necessary, a tool can be used, such as thin sticks (cocktail sticks, for example), to make
sure no contamination can occur in these areas.
Clean the back of the appliance and the floor on which it stands at least once a year with a vacuum cleaner, so that the
ventilation holes remain clean and the appliance is able to function optimally.
Do not use hard brushes, steel wool, abrasives (such as toothpaste), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, oil, etc.),
boiling water, acid or alkaline product to clean the appliance, as this could damage the surface and interior of the appliance.
Boiling water and benzene could deform or damage plastic components.
