moistened with surgical alcohol. After cleaning the appliance, ensure that all alcohol has evaporated before re-use. Do not use
other liquids or substances for cleaning purposes. Do not use a wet cloth - if liquids come into contact with the electrical parts
of the appliance, operating defects or irreparable damage may be caused.

After use, and if necessary, before use, wash the accessories (not including the tube) carefully with tepid water and dry
them with a cloth. Then put the accessories into a clean storage area. When cleaning, ensure that all residue is removed
and that the accessories are dried properly. Under no circumstances should you use substances that may be toxic if they come
into contact with the skin or mucous, if ingested or inhaled. If it is necessary to disinfect the accessories, adopt the methods
approved by the regulations in force and in compliance with the resistance of the material.
