If the overfill security system it’s activated, don’t proceed 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 S.p.A. technical service.
