The door seals must be checked regularly so
that no air can enter the appliance.

in various places. The paper should be
difficult to pull through at all points.

Warm the seal in the appropriate places
in front of you with a hair dryer and pull it
out with your fingers.
3. Only clean the dirty seals with clean wa-
ter; they are sensitive to oil and fat.
