Cleaning and maintaining the device
8.2 Cleaning
Note
Only use mild soapy water to clean the components. Do not use any
bleach, chlorine, solutions containing alcohol or alkalis, or moisturising
or antimicrobial soaps. These agents can harden the materials and
therefore significantly shorten the service life.
The following cleaning steps can be executed as often as required.
Housing
Note
Never submerge the housing in water or rinse off. Protect the openings
and filters from ingress of liquids to prevent damage to the device. If,
however, liquid should get into the device, please do not continue to use
but contact the service department.
• Disconnect device from the power supply.
• Wipe the device with a damp cloth to remove any dust.
• Allow the housing to dry completely before you use the device again.
