Procedure
WARNING
Always switch off the device before you clean the front panel, or set it to a defined state, for
example, by activating a clean screen. This avoids the risk of triggering unwanted functions
when you touch the screen or when a water jet contacts the screen.
NOTICE
Do not rub the front membrane when it is dry.
Make sure that foodstuff does not splash back into the production process.
Follow the general cleaning guidelines.
1.
Switch off the device. When the system is in operation, you can also activate a clean
screen on the touch screen.
2.
Always dilute glass cleaners with water before you apply these. Use clean water.
3.

Rinse off the dirt particles when doing so.
4.
Rinse the window wiper or cloth several times.
5.
Clean the edges with a cloth or household paper.
6.
Moisten the front membrane once again.

Remove the moisture with the window wiper, working from top to bottom and without

paper. Wipe off any water accumulating on the bottom edge of the front membrane using
soft household paper.
