11. REPLACEMENT OF UV LAMPS
UV lamps installed in the device are designed for a
non-stop, continuous service life
of about
3 years. Thereafter UV radiation output begins to degrade, leading to a loss of efficiency of
about 25-30%. Replacement of the UV lamps will restore the TIOKRAFT VL20 to its original
efficiency.
Replacement of UV lamps is simple and does not require any special skills or tools.
Follow the steps below (Fig. 4):
1.
Place the device on a flat horizontal surface with the back cover facing up.
2.
Unscrew the fixing screw M3, slide the bottom cover in direction A and remove it by
gently pulling in direction B (up).
3.
Flip the bottom cover 180 degrees and place it side by side, providing access to the UV
lamps.
4.
Unclip the upper end of the UV lamps and remove them from the device.
5.
Install new UV lamps and assemble the device in the reverse order.
6.
Your TIOKRAFT VL20 is good to go for another 3 years!
The photocatalytic element plates (PC-element) require no
maintenance throughout the lifecycle of the device.

minutes, carefully sweep broken remains into a plastic bag and
