Cleaning and Care
Outside of the appliance
Important: Do not use cleaning agents for stainless steel or other aggressi-
ve or abrasive cleaning agents. The protective coat of lacquer on the stain-
less steel surface can be damaged by these.
The coat of lacquer protects against finger prints and therefore additional
cleaning agents and maintenance products are no longer required.
• Clean the appliance with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially avai-
lable dish washing detergents may also be used.
• After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories,
should be cleaned regularly.

Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and
remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit
breaker or fuse.
• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumu-
late in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapours can
lead to the damage of plastic parts.
• The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.
Attention!
• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g.
– lemon juice or the juice from orange peals;
– butyric acid;
– cleansers which contain acetic acid.
Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.
• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
