Risk of burns 

 

Hot machine parts  

  Some parts of the machine can get very hot and cause burns when 

touched without wearing protective gloves. 

 

Wear heat-resistant protective gloves when working with hot 
machine parts.

 

 

Never touch hot parts of the machine without suitable protective 
gloves.

 

 

 

The dust box stops fine dust penetrating the infrared measuring cells of the analyzer.  It is 
necessary to clean the dust box to prevent the absorption of reaction gases and associated 
lower results:

Position 

Component 

Dust box 

O-ring 

Lock  

For cleaning, the metal filter holder with the dust box must first be removed: 

1.  Release the plug-in connector on the metal filter heater.  
2.  Turn the lock (

3

) 90° to the left to release the O-ring (

2

). 

3.  Lift the dust box (

1

) up as far as possible. 

4.  Swing the dust box to the side. 
5.  Remove the dust box downwards. 
The metal filter holder with the dust box has been removed.
