2. Clean the accessories in the usual way in soapy water.

3. The door frame and seal and neighbouring parts must be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth when they are dirty.

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. If a long cord set or extension cord is used:

1)The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

2)The extension cord must be a grounding type 3-wire cord.

3)The long cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
