damaged (repeat the cleaning operation if necessary).
12 .11 Only use original spare parts . Do not wait until the component is completely worn out, preventive replacements can
greatly improve performance and extend the life of the model .
12 .12 For maintenance of any accessories or components mounted on the model, refer to their user-manuals.
12 .13 When replacing electric heaters take particular care during installation in order to avoid damage to the vulcanization;
correctly reset wiring and existing fastening systems to avoid possible movement during operation .

12 .15 When repairing the system, be aware that even with non-flammable refrigerants (e.g. CO
medium), some traces of lubricating oil may be entrained and thus flammable mixtures may be created. It is therefore
recommended:
• do not smoke in the vicinity of the model or system;
• do not use naked flames in the vicinity of the model or system;
• avoid any contact between the fluid and the fire;
• remove any means of ignition from the installation site;
• only perform any welding or soldering repairs after the model and/or system has been completely drained . Avoid rele-
asing the fluid into the atmosphere.
