Assistance Service
If the overfill security system it’s activated, don’t proceede with the liquid aspiration.
If the overfill security system doesn’t work there are two cases:
1° case – If the overfill security system doesn’t work the aspiration will be stopped by the bacteriological
filter who avoid the liquid penetration inside the device.
2° case – If both the security system doesn’t work, there is the possibility that liquid comes inside the
device, in this case return the device to GIMA technical service.
GIMA Srl will provide upon request electric diagrams, components list, descriptions, setting instructions
and any other information that can help the technical assistance staff for product repair.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE
•
The working position must be such as to allow one to reach the control panel and to have a good view
of the empty indicator, the jar and the antibacterial filter.
•
If the device is to be transported from one place to another, to prevent the liquid collection jar from
falling and consequently the liquid from spilling, removing the jar from the device is recommended.
WARNING:
For proper use, place the aspirator on a flat, stable surface in order to have the full volume
of use of the jar and better efficiency of the overflow device. The vacuum jar, during use, must be used
in vertical mode, to prevent the action of the backflow valve. If this protection is triggered, turn the device
off and disconnect the pipe connected to the vacuum jar (indicated with the word VACUUM) on its cover.
