moisture in the room in which it is installed. Make sure
that ventilation in the kitchen is good: keep natural
ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventila-
tion device (mechanical extractor hood).

increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where
present) is necessary when you operate the appliance
intensively for a long time .

not use the appliance for commercial and industrial
use. This is to prevent physical injury to persons or
