Cleaning the appliance
To ensure better hygiene and safe storage of foods, it is advisable
to clean and disinfect the product regularly.
- Drain the appliance and place the contents in thermal bags
or newspapers, and then place them in a cool place.
- Clean the product inside and out with baking soda dissolved
in water (1 tablespoon to 4 litres of water).
- Do not use alcohol, scouring powder or detergents, as these
can damage the surfaces.
- Do not use steam pressure cleaners.
The fire-hot steam can damage the surfaces and the electri-
cal circuits. There is a direct risk of fatal electric shock.
- Rinse with clean water and dry with a cloth.
- Remember to clean the condenser at the back of the product
from time to time. Use a dry brush, or preferably a vacuum
cleaner.
- Plug in the appliance again and readjust the temperature if
necessary, as directed in the section “Setting the tempera-
ture”.
- Wait three quarters of an hour before putting food back into
the appliance.
Changing the bulb (depending on the model)
Pull the plug out of the socket.
Change the bulb as follows:
- Remove the protective grille using a pointed tool (a screw-
driver or a knife) by loosening it at the pin.
- The bulb can be seen. Remove the bulb and replace it with
a new one. Then put the protective grille back by repeating
the same procedure in reverse order.

This comes from the engine. This humming may at times become
stronger, i.e. when the engine starts.

This is caused by the coolant circulating around the appliance.
Clicking
A faint clicking sound can always be heard when the electronic
card starts or stops the engine.
Low background noise
If the appliance has a fan (depending on the model), the air
circulating inside the product may create a low background noise.
