Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the AD 6658 is straightforward: place the unit on a flat, heat-resistant surface with adequate ventilation around the vents. To maintain the appliance, ensure the polypropylene trays are washed in warm, soapy water after every use, being careful not to use abrasive sponges that could scratch the surface. The base unit should only be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth—never submerge the motor base in water. Always ensure the device is completely cool and dry before storing it in a cupboard.
