23.4 Cleaning
NOTE!
Aggressivecleaningagentsmaydamagethematerial!
•In the potentially explosive atmosphere, only wipe the control head with a damp or anti-static cloth to
avoid electro-static charges.
•The customary cleaning agents and foam cleaners can be used to clean the outside. We recommend
checking that the cleaning agents are compatible with the housing materials and seals before using the
cleaning agent.
→ Clean the control head and rinse it thoroughly with clean water to safeguard against the formation of
deposits in grooves and recesses.
