must be observed.

In general, thermowells are maintenance-free.
We recommend a visual check of the thermowell for leaks and damages at regular intervals.
Make sure that the seal is in perfect condition!
Repairs should only be carried out by the manufacturer or, following prior consultation, by corres-
pondingly qualified skilled personnel.
7.2 Cleaning
CAUTION!
Wash or clean the dismounted instrument before returning it, in order to protect staff
and the environment from exposure to residual media.
