IKA C 1 - Maintenance Procedures and Cleaning Guidelines; Cleaning the Water Filter; Cleaning the Combustion Chamber

40
Cleaning the water filter:
Clean the water filter in the water supply line every 2-3 days in
the beginning and define the regular intervals, depending on the
degree of contamination for cleaning.
Cleaning the combustion chamber:
Only use lint-free cloths for cleaning und drying! Cloth or paper
lints clog the filter in the water supply line.
Thus, the flow rate is reduced and more error messages occur.
This also affects the measuring accuracy!
The device is subject only to the natural wear and tear of com-
ponents and their statistical failure rate. According to the IKA
®
manufacturer specifications we recommend an annual mainte-
nance with security check and pressure test according to Pressure
Equipment Directive!
Cleaning:
For cleaning, disconnect the main plug!
Only use cleaning agents recommended by IKA
®
.
