10.6 Description of the maintenance work

10.6.1 Service program

NOTICE

Possible damage to the vacuum pump.

Water vapour that forms during the vacuum process contaminates

the oil, diminishes the vacuum power and can result in pump

damages in extreme cases

Run the service program monthly.

The service program is used to remove condensate from the oil circuit. The pump is
heated to operating temperature and aerated in pulses. Slight odour emissions may
occur while the program is running. Make sure the room is sufficiently ventilated.

Proceed as follows to start the service program:

1 Press the "HOME" button.

The main menu is displayed.

2 Using the "^" and "v" buttons, select the "General settings" menu item and press

the "ENTER" button.

3 Using the "^" and "v" buttons, select the "Service program" menu item and press

the "ENTER" button.
The service program is loaded.

4 Once the corresponding information is shown on the display, start the program

by pressing the "ENTER" button.

After the program has run (duration approximately 20 minutes), the machine
automatically switches into standby mode.
