CLEANING
WARNING:
turn your unit off and allow it to cool before you clean or
service it.
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit. Do not use
strong detergents. Household cleaners that contain aromatic oils
such as pine and lemon, and solvents such as kerosene, can damage
plastic housing or handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
