Care, maintenance General The MagicCleaner 300 requires minimal service and maintenance under normal operat- ing conditions. However, several points must be observed in order for the device to re- main operational for years to come. WARNING! Danger due to improper use! This can result in serious personal injury, damage to property and the environment.
Disposal Disposal Used cleaning felts are considered hazardous waste. During cleaning and polishing, heavy metals are deposited in the cleaning electrolyte used. Used cleaning electrolytes are therefore considered hazardous waste. Materials should be disposed of according to valid local and national regulations. Waste electrical and electronic equipment must be collected separately and recycled in an environmentally sound manner in accordance with the European Directive and nation- al law.
