Cleaning

Before cleaning, disconnect the power sup- ply and remove all loose fittings.

The cabinet is best cleaned using warm water (max. 65 °C) with a little mild, perfume-free detergent. Never use cleaning agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. It is important to prevent water from entering the control panel.

The sealing strip around the lid must be cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration and prolong service life. Use clean water. After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it continues to provide a tight seal.

The ventilation grille must be kept free of dust and dirt. Clean it with a vacuum cleaner.

If the appliance is not to be used for any length of time, switch it off, disconnect the power supply, empty it, clean the cabinet and leave the lid open to allow air circula- tion and prevent smells.

Replacing the bulb

2 . Remove the lamp cover by pressing its upper edge downwards to release it from the two clips (fig. 7).

3.Replace the bulb(s).

4.Refit the cover and reconnect the power supply.
