8.2 Cleaning
8.2.1 Interior and metal surfaces
Regular cleaning of the easy-to-clean interior prevents build up of material remains that could
impair the appearance and functionality of the stainless steel chamber over time.
The metal surfaces of the appliance can be cleaned with normal stainless steel cleaning
agents. Make sure that no rusty objects come into contact with the interior or with the stain-
less steel housing. Rust deposits can lead to an infection of the stainless steel. If rust spots
should appear on the surface of the interior due to impurities, the affected area must be im-
mediately cleaned and polished.
8.2.2 Plastic parts
Do not clean the ControlCOCKPIT and other plastic parts of the appliance with caustic
or solvent-based cleaning agents.
8.2.3 Glass surfaces
Glass surfaces can be cleaned with a commercially available glass cleaner.
