NOTICE
During longer service interruptions, the
dry ice pellets can agglutinate in the
dry ice container. As far as possible, do
not interrupt operations for more than
20 minutes. In case of extended inter-
ruptions, empty the dry ice container.
Drain off the condensate.
A water separator cleans the com-
pressed air flowing to the device. This
collects condensate in the water sepa-
rator, that needs to be drained once in
a while.
Place the collection trough under

the condensate drain screw.
Open the pressure relief valve

slowly and wait until the conden-
sate has been drained from the de-
vice.
NOTICE
Please dispose of condensate in an
environmentally friendly manner.
