Cleaning, Care & Maintenance
Always switch off the appliance, disconnect the power supply and allow to cool
before cleaning or performing maintenance.
Always keep the appliance clean!
• Clean the appliance after every use.
• Wipe the exterior/interior surfaces with a moist cloth. Then wipe dry with a dry cloth.
• Clean the heating element with a soft brush to remove any food residues.
Cleaning the collection tray and basket
• For a thorough cleaning, separate the basket from the collection tray first.
• Clean both parts with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Do not use abrasive powder or
metal brush, as this may damage the non-stick coating.
•
Tip:
Both parts are dishwasher-safe.
• If dirt gets stuck to the basket or the bottom of the tray, fill the tray with hot water and some
detergent. Then put the basket in the tray and soak for approximately 10 minutes.
• Rinse and dry well.
