7. Maintenance and Care
7.1 Replacement of the Plunger Discs
If damaged, the plunger discs must be replaced. Only original parts may be
used as replacements to insure safe operation.
Turn off the unit and disconnect the plug from the power source. Use an
Allen wrench to remove the screw in the center of the plunger disc.
Remove the disc and screw a new one into place (Fig. 26).
When changing the plunger discs, make sure you position them
with the correct alignment (see Fig. 26) to prevent damage to the foil
bags.
7.2 Care
Clean all components with a soft cloth and, if necessary, a mild cleaning agent
(e. g. dish-washing detergent). Solvents or abrasive cleaners may not be used
in any case, as they can damage the plastic components!
- Cleaning agents must not enter the unit!
To disinfect all components, spray the disinfectant on a towel and use it to
disinfect the unit. Do not spray the disinfectant directly on the device.
- Disinfectant agents must not enter the unit!
- Dry residual disinfectants on the device with a soft and fluff-free cloth,
as they damage the plastic components.
If necessary, ask the manufacturer of the disinfectant if its constant use will
damage plastic surfaces.
7.3 Maintenance and Repair
No components inside the unit require servicing or repair by the user.
3M Deutschland GmbH will accept responsibility for the safety, reliability, and
correct function of the unit only if:
- Any modifications or repairs are carried out only by personnel
authorized to do so by 3M Deutschland GmbH;
- The electrical fittings in the room comply with all regulatory
requirements;
- The unit is operated according to these Operating Instructions.
Plastic cartridges are subject to wear depending on the material and
frequency of use and are therefore not covered by the warranty for this unit.
They should be regularly checked for signs of wear (e.g., fissures) and
replaced with new, metal-reinforced Penta cartridges two years after initial
operation at the very latest. The use of worn or defective cartridges can have
adverse effects on the evenness of the mixture, reducing the quality of the
impression.
