Maintenance and care
Always remove the mains plug from the socket
before carrying out any maintenance work!
Any maintenance and repair work requiring an
opening of the motor housing may only be carried
out by an authorised customer service workshop.
Electrotechnical tests must be performed in
accordance with the provisions of the Accident
Prevention Regulations (VBG 4) and with
DIN VDE 0701 Part 1 and Part 3.
According to DIN VDE 0702, these tests must be
performed at regular intervals and after repair or
modification.
A safety test is to be carried out at least once a
year by the manufacturer or an instructed person,
e.g. for possible damage to the filter and leaks in
the appliance, and to ensure that the control devices
are functioning.
If the user services the appliance, it must be
dismantled, cleaned and serviced, as far as
possible without any danger to the maintenance
staff and other persons.
Appropriate measures include decontamination
before dismantling, locally filtered forced ventilation
on the dismantling site, cleaning the service area,
and suitable personal safety equipment.
