The products can be cleaned as described in the following according to their IP protection stated on the product label.
The IP code specifies the protection degree provided by the enclosures. For most products, only the protection against ingress of water (second
characteristic numeral) is specified, ingress of solid foreign objects or dust (first characteristic numeral) is not specified and therefore replaced by the
letter X in the code.
