Cleaning and care
For hygienic reasons the appliance
(including exterior and interior accessories)
should be cleaned regularly (at least every
two months.
Warning!
The appliance must not be connected to the
mains during cleaning as there is a danger
of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch
the appliance off and remove the plug from
the mains socket.
Exterior cleaning
Wipe the control panel with a clean, soft

Spray water onto the cleaning cloth
