Care and cleaning

Important

To prevent cracks on inside surfaces and plastic

components, follow these tips .

• Wipe out food oil adhered to plastic parts.

• Some household chemicals may cause damage, so use

only diluted washing-up liquid (soapy water).

• If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not

wiped off thoroughly, it may result in cracks of plastic

parts.

Cleaning

■ Remove the accessories (e.g. shelves) from the cabinet

and the door. Wash them by warm soapy dishwashing

water. After that, rinse them in clean water and dry.

■ Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy

dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off

soapy water thoroughly.

■ Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it gets

dirty.

warm soapy dishwashing water.

Note

• Do not use heavy-duty cleansers or solvents (lacquer,

paint, polishing powder, benzine, boiled water, etc.)

which may cause damages.

• If you pull out the power plug once, wait 5 minutes at

least before connecting the power plug again.
