, in water
baths or with compressed air.
■ It may only be cleaned by hand and disinfected with liquids.
■ To avoid signs of corrosion due to cleaning agents and disinfec-

om the
manufacturer of the cleaning agent and disinfectant be observed.
■ The water temperature must be 20-25°C.
■ Only detergents/disinfectants may be used which

Before cleaning, disconnect the mains plug.
For easier cleaning of the interior, the rails and sheets
