Otherwise the Declaration of Conformity with European directives made by Retsch will lose its validity. Furthermore this will also lead to the loss of any guarantee claims. Do not dry explosives or easily flammable materials, or materials with a flashpoint below 180°C in the TG200. Risk of fire and explosion.
Cleaning / maintenance Do not clean the TG200 under running water. Danger to life through current surge. If the filter element and filter bags are contaminated too much the efficiency of the TG200 will be reduced to an unknown extent. Wearing parts These operating instructions do not include any repair instructions.
