8.2 Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first
time, the interior and all internal
accessories should be washed with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap
to remove the typical smell of a brand-
new product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION!
Do not use detergents,
abrasive powders, chlorine
or oil-based cleaners as they
will damage the finish.
8.3 Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned
regularly:
1. Clean the inside with lukewarm water
and baking soda solution. The
solution should be about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a litre
of water.
2. Wring excess water out of sponge or
cloth when cleaning the area of the
controls, or any electrical parts.
3. Clean the outside of the appliance
with warm water and some neutral
soap.
4. Regularly check the door seals and
wipe them clean to ensure they are
clean and free from debris.
5. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
8.4 Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.
2. Remove all items.
3. Clean the appliance and all
accessories.
4. Leave the door open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
When the appliance is not in use due to
power failure:
• Most power failures are corrected
within a few hours and don't affect the
temperature of your appliance if you
minimize the door opening.
• If the power is going to be off for a
longer time, you need to take the
proper steps described above.
