Maintenance and testing
7.1
General
When used in the specified environmental conditions and under normal operating conditions, this
machine is largely maintenance-free and requires a minimum of care. However, a number of points
should be observed to guarantee fault-free operation. These include regular cleaning and checking, as
described below, depending on the level of contamination in the environment and the usage time.
7.2
Cleaning
To do this, carefully disconnect the machine from all electrical contacts.
For machines with a separate power supply it is not sufficient simply to switch off the machine
(including the fuse).
In this case, unplug the mains plug and wait for at least two minutes.
Surfaces and glass can be cleaned using standard household cleaners; other elements can be cleaned
as follows:
• Only ever vacuum electrical or electronic components using a vacuum cleaner; never blast with
compressed air.
7.3
Maintenance
All electrical connections and all moveable parts must be tested regularly for correct functioning and to
identify any defects.
In the event of damage, the machine may only be repaired by a specialist engineer, or your contractual
partner.
7.4
Disposing of equipment
This machine does not belong in household waste, in accordance with the German Law on
Electrical Equipment Waste.
In Germany, waste equipment from private households can be disposed of free of charge at local
community collection points. Your administrative office will be pleased to inform you of the options.
EWM participates in an approved waste disposal and recycling system and is registered in the Used
Electrical Equipment Register (EAR) under number WEEE DE 57686922.
In addition, within Europe the machine can also be returned to your EWM sales partner.
7.4.1
Manufacturer's declaration to the end user
• In accordance with European guidelines (Directive 2002/96/EC from the European Parliament and the
Council of 27.01.03), it is no longer permissible to dispose of used electrical and electronic equipment
in unsorted household waste collections. It must be kept separate from other waste. The symbol on
the wheeled bins indicates the requirement to separate this waste.
Help to protect the environment and ensure that this equipment, when you no longer want to use it, is
disposed of in the relevant system of separated waste disposal.
• In Germany, (German Law on the Distribution, Return and Environmentally-Friendly Disposal of
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (ElektroG) of 16.03.05) you are required to take old equipment to
a waste collection point separated from household waste. The public waste disposal contractor (local
authorities) have set up collection points for this purpose where old equipment from private
households in your area can be collected for you free of charge.
It is also possible that the legally responsible waste disposal company will collect old equipment from
private households.
• Please obtain the relevant information from your local waste calendar or from your town council or
local authority on the options available in your area for returning or collecting old equipment.
