4.5 Reprocessing the compressor
DANGER
Life-threatening situation from electrocution
Liquids can conduct electricity, thereby posing a risk of electric shock.
• Before starting to clean the compressor, always switch it off, and disconnect the power
plug from the mains socket.
NOTE
Danger of device fault due to liquid penetration
If liquids get into the interior of the compressor, this may cause a fault in the device.
• Never immerse the compressor in water.
• Never clean the compressor in running water.
• Never spray any liquids onto the compressor or the power cord.
• If liquid gets into the compressor, it must not be used under any circumstances. Before
starting the compressor again, contact the manufacturer or distributor.
Procedure
• Wipe the outer surface of the housing with a clean, damp
cloth.
For disinfection, use a standard, alcohol-based disinfectant (e.g. isopropanol).
When applying and dosing the disinfectant, it is essential to follow the instructions
for use for the product.
• If the compressor is visibly dirty, clean the compressor before disinfecting it.
• Moisten a cloth with the disinfectant.
• Wipe off the outer surface of the housing thoroughly with the cloth.
• Let the disinfectant dry completely on the surfaces.
The procedure was validated in Europe using a disinfectant suitable for use on
plastics as per the DGHM and/or the VAH list: Propanol/Isopropanol
