Cleaning

Wear protective clothing and take appropriate measures when handling the cleaning
agent.
Before cleaning the bath's surfaces, to protect labels, the nameplate, electrical connections,
painted and plastic surfaces and to prevent the cleaning agent from entering through any vent
openings, mask off all areas except the reservoir.
Clean the bath's surface only with a soft cloth and warm water.
After time, the circulating bath's stainless steel surfaces may show spots and become tarnished.
Normal stainless steel cleaners can be used.
Clean the reservoir and built-in components at least every time the bath liquid is changed. Use
only water and a soft cloth.
Do not use scouring powder or any substance containing solvents.
The inside of the bath circulator must be kept clean in order to ensure a long service life. Quickly
remove substances containing acidic or alkaline substances and metal shavings as they could
harm the surfaces causing corrosion. If corrosion (e.g., small rust marks) occur in spite of this,
cleaning with stainless steel caustic agents has proved to be suitable. Apply these substances
according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
To clean the touchscreen use a microfiber cloth. For dirtier screens add a small amount of plain
water (soap is not necessary).
