CLEANING THE INTERIOR SURFACES

To clean the interior surfaces and all removable parts, wash
them with a mild solution of dishwasher soap, water, and
sodium bicarbonate. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not allow the water to come into contact with the lighting
equipment or control panel.

with a soft, lint-free cloth.
For polishing, wipe the surface gently with a damp
microfibre cloth and follow with dry washleather.
Always rub in the direction of the grain of the stainless
steel.
