10.2.
Cleaning the Filter Mat
The filter mats (Fig. 28, pos. 2) are placed in the filter mat holders (Fig. 28, pos. 2) on the front of the system. The level of
dirt on the filter mats depends on the level of dirt in the operating environment. If the filter mats become too heavily
soiled, it can result in the device becoming unusually hot. This is why we recommend cleaning the filter mats as frequently
as necessary, depending on the level of dirt.
The filter mats can be replaced during operation.
