Cleaning
► Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and
dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
► We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have
finished using it.
► Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do
not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of
the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device.
