© Elma Schmidbauer GmbH BA_Elmasteam_8_Vers.07.2016
Only fill the device with potable water or DI water.
Do not use any chemical additives. Only operate the device with
potable water or DI water. Descaling as an exception (Chapter
6.4.5).
Only utilise pure citric acid (45 g = 3 tablespoons of pure citric acid
dissolved in 1.5 litres of water) for descaling. Misuse can cause
damage e.g. on the pressure vessel seal.
Follow the instructions for maintenance works as described in
these operating instructions at regular intervals (Chapter 7.4 ) to
ensure the functionality and safety of the device.
Repair works must only be executed by authorised Elma
professionals and service centres. Disconnect the power supply
connection before commencing maintenance works or opening the
device.
Original parts must be utilised for repair works or any accessories.
Always close the water supply to the pump on the stopcock after
operation or when the device is left unattended.
Only utilise clean air. Do not use compressed air which includes
chemicals, synthetic oils containing organic solvents, salt or
corrosive gases etc. as this may cause damage or malfunctions on
the device.
Install an air filter close to the valve on the upstream side. Select a
filtration degree of maximum 5µm.
Remove excessive carbon dust by installing a micro-filter on the
upstream side of the valve. If excessive carbon dust is generated
by the compressor, then this may adhere in the valve and cause a
malfunction.
Maximum compressed air temperature: 40°C
Do not exceed the stated maximum air pressure as this may result
in personal injury and increased material wear and tear.
The user is responsible for the control of the cleaning result.
The device must be stored and transported upright when the
pressure vessel is full as otherwise residues can clog the steam
valve and steam pipes.
Care must be taken to prevent damage during storage and
transportation of the device. Basically, storage or transportation at
temperatures below the freezing point must be avoided. Freezing
water in the steam cleaning device can impair the function
sustainably. Drain the unit completely before storing or
transporting.
Temperature during storage: +5°C (+ 41°F) to + 40°C (+ 104°F)
Temperature during transport: -15°C (+ 43°F) to +60°C (+ 122°F)
