Maintenance: change drying filter (if installed)
The device provides an alert when the filter needs changing. Keeping the filter in operation after
the end of its useful life will lead to poor steam removal results. If the filter is fouled, the air flow-
rate entering the chamber is reduced.
The filter's useful life may be less than the preset nominal time, depending on the amount of dirt
in the environment. If steam removal performance deteriorates, users should have the filter
changed earlier. The device does not signal this type of wear, but only wear arising from the
hours actually worked.
Routine maintenance
The device provides an alert when routine maintenance is required.
These are inspection and maintenance operations which must be performed by authorised staff
to keep the device safe and in good working order.
These maintenance operations are not covered by the product Warranty, which does not include
the replacement of components which deteriorate due to normal wear and tear.
USE OF AND ACCESS TO THE DEVICE
The device must only be used by staff suitably trained in its operation.
