- Wash filters in hot, soapy water or in a dishwasher. For stubborn grease, a degreasing agent may be used.
- Skyl grundigt og lad det tørre helt, før det monteres igen.
6.2 Udvendig rengøring
Clean the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid scratching. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
