7 Maintenance
Failure to maintain the device as specified in the AFS operating instructions will void the warranty or
guarantee!
7.1 Maintenance Work and Cycles for Oil and Emulsion Mist Separation
All maintenance work on a device must be performed exclusively after the device has been turned off
and by trained personnel familiar with the device.
If multiple AFS air purification devices are operating in conjunction with one another, ALL the devices
must be disabled for maintenance to be performed. Low pressure will persist throughout the entire
extraction pipe system for as long as networked devices are turned on. Where applicable, device
doors must not be opened. There is an increased risk of injury.
Maintenance cycles are to be set in accordance with the type of process and degree of contamination
in the air that is to be cleaned. The degree of pollution in the device as well as the separator elements
must be examined and then cleaned or replaced as needed.

Never change the order, number or installation position of the separation and filter elements as this
will render the device inoperable.
The device must only be operated with AFS-approved separation/filter elements.
The separation and filter elements may be laterally removed from the device for cleaning or
replacement.
