Cleaning & maintenance
Before cleaning, the power should always be switched off and disconnected.
Clean the unit inside and out with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, using some
sodium bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water may be used.
Never use abrasive products, detergents or soap. After washing, rinse with
clean water and dry carefully.
When storing the unit for a long period of time, do NOT fully close the lid. This
will prevent mould and odours.
