MAINTENANCE
The Mistral device does not have any part that requires maintenance and/or lubrication.
Nonetheless, it is necessary to carry out some checks to verify the function and security of
the appliance before each use. Remove the appliance from the box and
always check
that
there is no visible damage; particular attention should be given to any cracks in plastics
which may leave some electrical components exposed. Check also the integrity of the pow-
er cable which might have been damaged during the previous use.
Then connect the cable to the power network and switch it on. Close the compression cap
with one finger and check that there are no disturbing noises which may be evidence of
malfunction.
Check that the nebulizer has not suffered any breakage during the previous use (it was
stored inappropriately or has suffered impacts). The appliance is protected by a protection
fuse
(F 2A L 250V)
not accessible from outside. Therefore, contact the technical staff au-
thorized by the manufacturer for its replacement.
If the appliance still does not nebulize after having checked the above mentioned condi-
tions, it is recommended to contact the reseller or Gima’s technical service.
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY CHECKS IN THE EVENT OF ANOMALIES OR
MALFUNCTIONS, CONTACT GIMA’S TECHNICAL SERVICE. THE MANUFACTURER
OFFERS NO GUARANTEE FOR THE APPLIANCES WHICH HAVE ASSESSED AS TAM-
PERED AFTER THE CHECKS CARRIED OUT BY THE TECHNICAL SERVICE.
CLEANING AND WASHING OF ACCESSORIES
