Prior to any cleaning. Please disconnect the appliance from the mains (turn the thermostat button to the position and pull the power cord from the mains outlet). Special antibacterial protection in top layer of inner walls prevents growth of bacteria and keeping the interior clean and germ free. Please remove traces of any detergents you may have used. • Clean the exterior of the appliance with warm water and mild liquid detergent.

This does not mean that something is wrong with the appliance, neither has it any influence on the lifetime of the appliance. The noise is reduced and eventually subsides.
