blow it out with low-pressure compressed air.
■
We recommend cleaning the appliance after every use.
■
Clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth and a little soft soap.
Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents as these can damage
the plastic surfaces of the appliance. Make sure that no water can
penetrate into the interior of the appliance.

Clean the elements by knocking them out on a flat surface. In the event
of severe soiling, wash with a soap solution and then rinse in clear
water and allow to dry.

switches the engine off. If this happens, the engine cannot be restarted or
switches off again after a short while. A restart is only possible after the
oil has been topped up (see section "Oil change, checking the oil level
(before each use)").
