Handling in operation
Risk of scalding from hot steam!
Act cautiously when steam discharge is activated.
Avoid hazardous situations caused by unintended activation of
the steam output.
There must not be any unauthorised third persons in the range
of the steam jet during the steam spraying.
Lock the steam button using the red lock on the hand piece.
Use of the actuation clamp for the hand piece is only authorised
for the pressure reduction process when the machine is
switched off!
Danger from hot surfaces!
Hot temperatures occur during operation at the steam
discharge nozzle and on the rear panel of the machine.
Put the machine into operation as described in
chapter 4
.
Ensure that the pressure tank is filled before starting work.
Otherwise, fill the pressure tank as described in
Switch on the Elmasteam at the mains power switch.
The machine starts to build up pressure.
Depending on the fill level, the operating pressure of 4.5 bar is
reached after approx. 15 - 20 minutes. The green LED indicator
lamp signals the operational readiness.
The green LED indicator lamp can extinguish depending on the
duration of the steam dispensing.
Steam can continue to be dispensed during the reheating.
Use a suitable aid for the safe holding of smaller workpieces.
Before starting the cleaning, ensure that the workpiece to be
cleaned is suitable for this cleaning process. In particular, the
thermal and mechanical load capacity must be taken into account.
Instruments must be resistant to steam.
Keep the workpiece at least 1 cm away from the nozzle in the
steam zone. Check the cleaning success at short time intervals
(visual inspection) and possible adverse effects on sensitive
surfaces of the product to be cleaned.
The user is responsible for checking the cleaning result.
