**Maintenance – Filter Replacement**
-
The unit notifies through both the display and the LED when filters need maintenance.
-
To replace the filters, first, turn the fume extractor off. Then remove the cover by opening the quick release lever of the casing (1).
-
Once the pre-filter has been changed and the saturation indicator is on, means that the compact filter is already saturated and must be replaced too.
-
The duration of the compact filter is 1-year maximum once its packaging is opened.
-
Once the compact filter has been replaced, the filter counter must be reset. (Main
Menu > Filter Set > Reset Carbon) – If the display shows an error when the equipment is switched on, the cover and casing connectors are probably dirty (2) and making false contact. Remove the cover and clean both connectors. -
If the filter is changed while the fume extractor is on, once the cover is placed the equipment starts an automatic filter detection process: the work valves open, the stand valves close and the fume extractor suctions for a few seconds.
-
Read the safety guidelines to do the equipment maintenance safely.
Maintenance – Valves
- Check the status of the valves when replacing the pre-filter or the compact filter.
- Use the cleaning stick if necessary and clean with alcohol to remove dirt residues.
Quick Release Lever Adjustment
- The locking force between casing and cover can be adjusted by turning the knurled nut of the locking mechanism.
- Turn clockwise to loosen and counterclockwise to tighten.
Read safety guidelines to do the equipment maintenance safety.

-
Do not use the equipment without the filters.
-
Saturated filters can not be cleaned and reused.
-
Avoid blowing the filter or the dirty parts of the equipment, if necessary it is advisable to vacuum.
-
Avoid losing particles in the filter during handling it.
-
Treat the saturated filters as waste depending on the filtered contaminant and the applicable standards in each country. This is the European Waste Catalog classification: 15 02: absorbents, filter materials, wiping cloths, and protective clothing.
15 02 02: Absorbents, filter materials (including oil filters not otherwise specified, wiping cloths, protective clothing contaminated by dangerous substances.
15 02 03: Absorbents, filter materials, wiping cloths, and protective clothing. -
In case of not complying with the filter change recommendations, the maximum particle and gas concentrations established in each country could be exceeded.
