After production has been ended, cleaning the VCM 44 should should restore it to a germ-free
condition ready for use. The frequency and intensity of cleaning and disinfection required de-

chine functions according to the following table. High pressure hoses should not be used.
Cleaning, disinfection and sterilization are basic requirements of every process in

tends the life of the machine and in particular the seals considerably. Complete in-
structions for the cleaning and disinfection processes are to be found in the technical
appendix. (See ” Cleaning and disinfection” on page 26.)
