Cleaning the machine
Clean the machine regularly with commercially available car cle-
ansers in order to avoid damage to paintwork and other surfaces.
IMPORTANT! Do not use strong chemical cleansing agents.
This avoids damage to painted surfaces.
NOTE! Daily cleaning of areas susceptible for the accumula-
tion of dust, chips and other dirt reduces the fire hazard.
