posed of in impermeable bags in accord-
ance with the valid provisions for the

Warning

vent dangerous situations must be serviced
regularly. This means that the safety func-
tions of the devices must be subjected to a
thorough inspection, e.g. checking for
leaks and damage to the filter, and testing
the monitoring function. This must be car-
ried out by the manufacturer or a trained
person at least once a year.
No outside help is required for carrying out
basic maintenance and cleaning.
The outer surface of the device and the in-
side of the container should be cleaned
regularly using a damp cloth.
