8. Cleaning and Maintenance of the Unit
Note:
Before cleaning the unit, it must be disconnected from the power supply!
When cleaning your MATOS Aria unit check the cleaning agent used is not harsh to plastics or aluminium.
Wipe down the chamber from top to bottom ensuring all residues and moisture is collected. Some cleaning
agents may cause staining to occur on the plastic, be sure to select the right cleaning product.
We recommend a mild citrus based cleaner for use on the plastic interiors. Detergent and water will make
for a good alternative.
Note:
When cleaning products with dedicated cleaning solutions, you should always pay
attention to specific instructions of the cleaning solution.
