15 Cleaning and Maintenance
This chapter provides important information on properly cleaning and
maintaining your SV1000.
15.1 Safety information
Please observe the following safety notices, before cleaning the unit to
avoid damage to the unit or personal injury:
► To ensure optimum performance, the unit must be cleaned regularly.
Failure to clean the unit regularly can lead to potential malfunctions, as
well as safety and health risks.
► Turn off and unplug the unit prior to cleaning.
► Clean the unit after every use as soon as it has cooled. Leaving the unit
uncleaned for long periods can make it very difficult to remove leftover
food and grime and may even damage the unit.
► If moisture penetrates the unit's housing, it can damage the electronic
components. Please ensure that no moisture enters the device.
► Do not use any harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
► Do not attempt to scrape off stubborn grime with hard or abrasive tools.
► Dry all parts thoroughly before using after cleaning.
► Do not immerse the unit in water or other liquid.
15.2 Maintenance and cleaning:
After each use, drain the water completely via the drain hose. No water
should be left in the bin.
Keep the filter on the water inlet in the bin clean. Use a brush to clean
before and after use.
Fill the bin with clean water only, not with any other items.
If a cooking bag should burst or an object get into the water bin, you
should clean the bin. In this case, do not let the water flow out through the
drain hole. Pour everything out of the bin from above. Use a soft cloth or
sponge and mild soap to clean the bin of all objects.
Never immerse the unit into water or other liquids while cleaning.
Do not use abrasives or aggressive (caustic) chemicals when cleaning the
unit.
Never place the appliance in a dishwasher.
