Remove the cable from the bracket and connect it to the mains, making sure that the connector is suitable for the type of socket.

Connection to a mains water supply:
Connect the hose to a mains water supply with a minimum pressure of 2 bar. Adapters for different taps are available as optional accessories. Connect the hose to your IFOAM at the water inlet connection.
The inlet temperature of the mains water must not be higher than 60ºC, as this may cause failures in the internal components of the equipment.

Chemical connection:

The low-pressure lance enables the rinsing and foaming function. The connection is made directly to the machine by means of a hose connected to the lower rear part of the machine.

• Connect the liquid hose to your IFOAM.

• Connect the liquid hose to the low pressure lance.

Use with Tegras brushing robot:
This connection is made by means of the low-pressure hose also used with the low-pressure lance. The connection must be made with your IFOAM switched off.

• Connect the liquid hose to your IFOAM.

• Connect the liquid hose to the liquid inlet connection of the Tegras brushing machine.

Use of chemical products

COMEGRAS FOAM ACTIVE is the chemical used for the operation of your IFOAM.
It is a degreaser especially indicated for cleaning, sanitizing and deodorizing areas particularly dirty with grease and burnt residues in installations and materials in the food industry such as meat processing plants, slaughterhouses, restaurants, dairies, etc.
Particularly suitable for use on filters, extractor hoods, smoke extraction ducts, floors, walls, as well as on all heavily and persistently soiled surfaces.
Its 10 kg canister format makes it easy to transport and handle in a clean and safe way. It fits perfectly inside your IFOAM equipment and is very easy to replace.
Before starting cleaning, it is very important to read the product label to know the properties, applications, instructions for use and precautions to be taken into account when using COMEGRAS FOAM ACTIVE.
Wear PPE to prevent splashing or inhalation of vapours released by the chemical.
The use of PPE when working with the machine is compulsory according to Law 31/1995 on the Prevention of Occupational Risks.

PPE to be used during the operation of your IFOAM:

Transport

The machine is designed to be transported in a small van.
During transport, the machine must be securely tied down to prevent any damage. It should also be placed in its normal working position (upright).
It is not recommended to place the machine on a transport pallet or similar. The machine must rest on a completely flat and horizontal surface.
The machine must never be placed in a horizontal position (lying down) for transport. This would result in serious damage to the machine and therefore in the machine malfunctioning.
Clean all parts of the machine thoroughly before loading it for transport.

Maintenance and care

Keep the equipment as clean as possible, storing it in a place protected from the weather.
Once you have finished using your IFOAM equipment, it is important to clean the liquid circuit of the equipment by rinsing it. Keeping the equipment stored with chemicals in the internal ducts of the machine can reduce the service life of the components.
If the foam or rinse water is not sprayed evenly through the nozzles, check that the nozzles are not clogged with dirt.
Keep the machine in good condition, avoid knocks or overloading.
Keep the connections clean to avoid obstructions in the pipes that could cause serious damage to the main elements of the machine.
Keep the connection fittings clean, dry and in good condition. Lubricate the fittings at least once a month.

Spare parts:
TEINNOVA has spare parts for all parts of the machine as well as consumables for all the maintenance tasks indicated in this manual.
Should you require any parts or consumables, please contact TEINNOVA Customer Service on +34 941 44 50 56.
