- Make sure the unit is powered at the correct voltage.

- Make sure the unit is earthed and conforms to the standards applicable in the country of installation.

- Never dismantle the unit.

- Do not remove the outer safety guard. Even if the unit is not in operation, its cooling fan is always on if

power supply to the machine is connected. Danger of injury to hands (see chap. 2.3 “Residue risks”).

- The high voltages inside the unit are dangerous.

- If it is not possible to disconnect the power supply, disconnect the mains supply. If this is distant or not

visible by the person carrying out the maintenance work, place the sign, “Work in progress” on the mains switch after it has been turned “OFF”.

- Keep the area around the unit clean and dry.

- Do not use solvents on the label.

- Do not remove the label on the unit. If necessary, ask for a new one.

- Clean the unit with a damp cloth after checking that the power lead is not connected (before using the unit

again, remove any traces of moisture).

- Do not pour water onto the unit or any other liquids that could cause short circuits or corrosion.

- Do not touch the unit with wet hands or if it is wet; always follow the precautions required for the use of

electrical equipment.

- The unit was not designed for use in the presence of gas or explosive vapours.

- Do not submit the unit to excessive mechanical stress such as impacts or strong vibrations.

- Do not lean over or stand in front of the door when opening it as there is a risk of scalding from escaping

steam (see chap. 2.3 “Residue risks”).

- The water used in the discharge tank could contain, in the case of incomplete or failed sterilisation,

contaminated residues; it is therefore advisable to use protective rubber gloves when unloading (see chap. 6.7 “Tanks: instructions for filling and emptying” in the instructions manual supplied with the unit and chap. 2.3 “Residue risks” in this manual).

- Before transporting the machine, drain both water tanks. Use the supplied drain tube and follow the
