Care and Maintenance
After use, drain the appliance by removing the drain cap on the rear of the unit until no water remains.
Re-install drain cap and open reservoir covers approximately halfway and leave open. This helps
thoroughly dry the inside of the appliance and helps prevent corrosion of surfaces.
When the appliance is in use, ensure that the reservoir covers are fully closed.
Regularly remove any accumulated dust from the air vents and cooling holes in the body of the machine.
If required, clean the appliance body with a damp cloth. Do not use detergents or chemicals.
