the appliance are not
suitable for washing in a
dishwasher.

7.2 Cleaning the interior

time, the interior and all internal
accessories should be washed with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap
to remove the typical smell of a brand-
new product, then dried thoroughly.

abrasive powders, chlorine
or oil-based cleaners as they
will damage the finish.

transferred from the food store to the
freezer in the shortest possible time.

indicated by the food manufacturer.

wipe them clean to ensure they are
clean and free from debris.
