The HMI device can be used on machines that are cleaned with pressure washers.
NOTICE
Damage caused by steam cleaners
Hot steam can damage the HMI device. Do not clean the HMI device with steam cleaners.
Risk of contamination by pressure washer
When pressure washers are used, areas that have already been cleaned can be

This is why high-pressure cleaners are generally not recommended for machine and plant
cleaning in the hygiene sector.
