12 MAINTENANCE, CLEANING, AND CARE
12.1
Cleaning Procedure
Periodic cleaning of the device
To clean the device, follow the instructions below:
•
Disconnect the equipment from the mains and remove all products stored in it.
•
Open all doors and allow time for the interior to reach room temperature. Remove all interior accessories and
clean them with soap and lukewarm water. Dry all accessories completely with a soft cloth.
•
Once the chamber has reached room temperature, clean all interior and exterior surfaces with soapy water.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Failure to dry the device properly may result in water stains.
Stainless steel cleaners are also available in the market, which can repair and protect the protective layer of
steel surfaces.
•
Put the accessories back in place and connect the unit to the mains.
•
Pitting corrosion or cracks in steel are signs of material deterioration. In this case, apply stainless steel cleaners
capable of repairing the steel passivation.
WARNING: Never use steel scrubbers, wire brushed or spatulas to clean the device.
NOTE: Cleaning products used must be alkaline-based or chlorine-free. Any cleaner containing
chlorides will damage the protective layer of the stainless steel.
Rubber gaskets maintenance
•
Rubber gaskets require regular cleaning to protect their elasticity, to ensure
proper sealing, and prevent mould growth. Rubber gaskets can be cleaned
with soapy water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils.
•
Rubber gaskets can be easily removed in case replacement is needed by
pressing them against the door frame.
