Maintenance

4.4.1  Checking and cleaning the sealing lip frame

Check the condition of the sealing lips regularly; if required, remove fluff balls, 
hairs, etc.

dISmountIng the SealIng lIP Frame

In order to be able to clean the sealing lips thoroughly, the frames can be  
dismounted from the device. 
Position the device on the floor or on a table so that the side to be cleaned  
(the underside) is turned upwards.

• 

Grip the centre of the Sealing lip frame 

9

 and pull it towards you so that it 

detaches from its catch mechanism.

• 

If required, clean the sealing lip frame with running water.

mountIng the SealIng lIP Frame

Before remounting the Sealing lip frames in the device, they must have dried 
completely. Due to their different engagement hooks, each sealing lip frame only 
fits at one side of the device. Here, the end-to-end sealing lip of the frame must 
be directed inwards.

• 

Put the sealing lip frame 

9

 with its engagement hooks in the intended catch 

mechanism at the device, at first at only one side
