5 CLEANING, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR
5.1 Cleaning
tasks
Cleaning, maintenance and repairs to the device must not be carried
out unless it is switched off and the power plug has been discon-
nected from the main socket.
WARNING:Danger of electric shock or malfunction caused by
liquids getting into the compressor
Liquids can conduct electric current. If liquid has got into the com-
pressor, a current may then be present on the housing, causing
a short circuit in the compressor.
Never spray any liquids onto the compressor or into the compres-
sor's ventilation slits.
Wipe the compressor down with a damp cloth, not a wet one.
Do not immerse the compressor in liquids such as water or
disinfectant solutions.
Always switch the compressor off and disconnect the power plug
from the mains socket before working on the inhalation device.
Always pull on the plug to disconnect it, not the cord.
If liquid has got into the compressor, do not use the compressor
again until you have contacted the manufacturer (see back of
instructions for use).
CAUTION:Danger of infection from contaminated nebuliser/
mask
Read the chapter entitled "Hygienic re-use" in the instructions for
use of the nebuliser you are using, and carry out the procedures
for hygienic re-use described there.
Wipe the compressor housing and the storage compartment
down with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Carry out the steps for hygienic re-use for all other components
as described in the instructions for use of the nebuliser.
