8. CLEANING
Remove dirt with a soft cloth damped in oil free soap water & rinsed with clean water.
Disinfection can be carried out with an alcohol-based solution (with damped wipes). If other
cleaning solutions are used, check that they are not abrasive and they are compatible with the
product materials (including labels) and gas (convenient cleaning solution - i.e. Meliseptol)
Do not use cleaning solutions containing ammonia!
Do not expose to water or any other liquid.
Do not expose to high temperature (such as autoclave).
To apply the cleaning solution do not spray it as the spray may enter into the inner parts of
combination valve and cause contamination or damage.
Do not use pressure wash as it could damage or contaminate the combination valve.
If the inner parts of the combination valve have been contaminated do not continue to use the
combination valve under any circumstances. It must be withdrawn from service.

In accordance to Article 33 of REACH GCE, s.r.o. as responsible manufacturer shall inform all
customers if materials containing 0.1% or more of substances included in the list of Substance
of Very High Concern (SVHC). The most commonly used brass alloys used for valve bodies and
other brass components contain 2-3% of lead (Pb), EC no. 231-468-6, CAS no. 7439-92-1. The
