Frequency of use
If needed, use the easycare no more
than 2 times per week after cleaning
the aerosol head.
i
Note
More frequent use is
not
beneficial,
and can lead to premature material
wear. During its entire period of use,
an aerosol head should not be back-
washed more than 25 times with the
easycare cleaning aid.
Backwash procedure:
Start the backwash by pressing the start
button on the eFlow
®
control unit. The pro-
cessing time for 5 ml is at least 10 min.
After rinsing, the eFlow
®
control unit auto-
matically switches off. If liquid is still present
in the funnel, please restart.
Important:
The easycare backwashing procedure is
performed as an additional measure to the
normal cleaning of the aerosol head.
