6.1 Safety advice
Before starting repairment or cleaning works, make sure the unit has been
disconnected from power socket (pull off the power plug!!!) and has cooled
down completely.
Do not use any acid or abrasive detergents and make sure no water runs into
the internal part of the unit.
To protect yourself from electric shock, never immerse the unit, the power cord
and the plug in water or other liquids.
CAUTION! The appliance is not jet-proofed. Therefore, you must not use any
kind of pressure water jet for cleaning it!
6.2 Cleaning
The device should be cleaned regularly.
Pull the power plug before cleaning. Make sure it does not touch any hot or wet
areas. Damage will be done to the power cord.
Let the unit cool down completely.
The heating element has a protective cover and can easily be removed from
the oil container by just lifting and detaching the switching unit from the oil
container. Now you can easily clean the heating element and the oil container.

Do not use any water to clean the control panel. Thereby, ensure no water
penetrate inside the unit. Thoroughly dry off the unit before operating the unit
again!
Control panel, surface of the device and power cord should only be wiped off
with a piece of soft cloth dipping a mild cleaning detergent solution. You must
not let water enter the control panel. This may lead to dangerous creepage
current and malfunctions of the appliance.
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or abrasive materials as these

particles on the surface of the unit, which can cause rust.
All parts must be dried thoroughly and reassemble the parts of unit, which have
been dismantled for cleaning.
Store the device in a dry and ventilated place if the unit stays idle for a long
