of the device surface. The device may be damaged. This may lead to malfunctions.
For this reason, the following precautionary measures should be taken:
• Only operate the device in closed rooms. Failure to comply with these instructions will
render the warranty null and void.
• Only operate the device in the ambient conditions specified in the technical
specifications.
• Protect the device against dust, moisture and heat.
• The device may not be used in harsh operating environments, such as areas subject to
acidic vapors or gases, without additional protective measures (for example. a clean air
supply).
• Only use suitable detergents. Read the information about Chemical resistance of the HMI
