Cleaning and care

To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, disconnect the appliance
from the power supply by shutting
off the power main, tripping the
circuit breaker or unplugging the
power cord before maintenance.
Never use cleaning agents
containing abrasive substances
such as sand, soda, acids,
chlorides or chemical solvents.
Non-abrasive cleaning agents are
also unsuitable, as they can cause
matte areas to appear.
Only use a mild solution of warm
water and liquid dish soap to clean
this appliance.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
this appliance. Pressurized steam
could penetrate electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.
Do not allow water to get into the
electronic unit or lights.
The data plate located inside the
appliance must not be removed. It
contains information which is
required in the event of a service
call.
