MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Remove the plug from the wall outlet before proceeding or disconnect the general power switch.
To clean the inside of the equipment and its fittings we suggest using water and bicarbonate of
soda (0.5 ml for every 0.5 l water).
Never use abrasives, detergent or soap. Clean the door sealings with water and dry carefully. Never
use a steam cleaner to defrost or clean the equipment. Steam can damage live parts in the
equipment and produce a short-circuit and/or electric shock. Steam also damages plastic parts.
PROLONGED DISUSE
If you go away for long periods, disconnect the equipment from the main supply, empty, clean the
inside and leave the door open (to prevent mould and bad smell forming).
