    3. Rinse the back of the filter housing with running water.

       

    4. Clean the outer and inner mesh filters with a small brush.

       

       

    5. If you need to exchange the carbon pellets according to the interval in the maintenance table, do the following:

      1. Remove the cap of the carbon filter from the filter housing by turning and pulling it at the same time.

         

      2. Empty the carbon filter. Dispose of the carbon pellets.

         

      3. Fill new carbon pellets into the carbon filter up to approx. 1 mm below the edge.

         

      4. Fixate the cap of the carbon filter by turning and pressing on the filter housing at the same time.

         

        • The cap of the carbon filter sits flush on the filter housing.

           

      5. If you have not exchanged the carbon pellets, clean the fine filter carefully under running water.

         

        If you have exchanged the carbon pellets, have a spare fine filter ready.

      6. Recommendation: Clean the coupling of the cooling liquid tank.
