How to use it

  • Use a food-safe detergent, then a food-safe sanitiser (one that meets EN 1276), at the dilution and contact time on the label.
  • Clean the oven and robotics only as iPlaySmart's manual says, with the power off where it says so.
  • Sign off each clean. Whoever checks the records signs the last column.
