10.2. Cleaning the Filter Mat
The filter mat (Fig. 36, pos. 2) is inserted in the filter mat holder (Fig. 36, pos. 4) at the front side of the fan slide-in
module (Fig. 36, pos. 5). The soiling of the filter mat is caused by the pollution of the operating environment. A heavily
soiled filter mat can cause excessive heating of the device. For this reason we recommend to clean the filter mat as often
as necessary. The filter mat can be replaced during operation of the system.

4. Remove the dirty filter mat.
5. Clean the filter mat as follows:
‰ Rinse in water (up to approx. 40°C/104°F; you may add a mild commercial detergent).
‰ It is also possible to beat it, suction clean it or blast it with warm compressed air.
‰ If the filter is soiled with greasy dust, you should rinse it with warm water with degreaser added. Do not clean the
air filter mat with a piercing jet of water or wring it out.
6. After cleaning and drying the filter pad, place it in the filter mad holder (see Fig. 39).
