ation, excessive limescale and discard
any damaged Filling Chamber, Tube
Flexer or Mouthpiece.

sembly and Assembly of the Filling

After the parts are cleaned and com-
pletely dry, they must be stored dry and
dust-free in a fresh and clean plastic
bag (e.g. larger freezer bag). It is not
permitted to place individual parts that
are still damp into plastic bags; in this
case, leave the parts to dry between
two fresh and clean cloths.

loon or the Tube Kit. Use a (permanent)
marker pen to write on the Value Bal-
loon or the Tube Kit itself.
Before each vaporization, check from
the outside whether there is any mois-
