Maintenance – Filter Replacement
- The unit notifies through both the display and the LED when filters need maintenance.
- To replace the filters, first, turn the fume extractor off. Then remove the cover by opening the quick release lever of the casing (1).
- Once the pre-filter has been changed and the saturation indicator is on, means that the compact filter is already saturated and must be replaced too.
- The duration of the compact filter is 1-year maximum once its packaging is opened.
- Once the compact filter has been replaced, the filter counter must be reset. (Main
Menu > Filter Set > Reset Carbon) – If the display shows an error when the equipment is switched on, the cover and casing connectors are probably dirty (2) and making false contact. Remove the cover and clean both connectors. - If the filter is changed while the fume extractor is on, once the cover is placed the equipment starts an automatic filter detection process: the work valves open, the stand valves close and the fume extractor suctions for a few seconds.
Read the safety guidelines to do the equipment maintenance safely.
Maintenance – Valves
- Check the status of the valves when replacing the pre-filter or the compact filter.
- Use the cleaning stick if necessary and clean with alcohol to remove dirt residues.
Quick Release Lever Adjustment
- The locking force between casing and cover can be adjusted by turning the knurled nut of the locking mechanism.
- Turn clockwise to loosen and counterclockwise to tighten.
Read safety guidelines to do the equipment maintenance safety.
