Service and Care

REMKO PWW units require virtually no maintenance when operated normally. They should, however, be checked regularly and, if necessary, cleaned, to ensure proper operation.

Important precautions prior to maintenance work

Perform the following steps prior to all service work:

1.Separate all poles of the unit from the power supply and secure it from being switched on by unauthor- ised persons.

It is not adequate to switch the unit off via the control switch on the switching unit!

2.Wait until the fan stops.

3.Turn off the flow of water and secure it from being opened on by unauthorised persons.

4.Wait until the heat-exchanger has cooled down.

Do not flood the motor and the housing. Do not damage or bend the fan blades or plate fins.

Cleaning materials

◊Only clean the unit when dry or with a slightly moist towel and a soap solution.

◊Never use high-pressure or steam cleaners.

◊Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaners that con- tain solvent.

◊Even when the unit is extremely dirty, only use suit- able cleaning materials.

General care

◊Keep the inside and outside of the unit free of dust and other deposits.
