11.4. cleaning
note!
avoid causing damage with cleaning agents.
▶ Before cleaning, check that the cleaning agents are compatible
with the device materials.
Observe instructions on operation in an explosion-risk (Ex)
area. See chapter "3.1. Use in Ex area".
Actuator
Clean the actuator surface using a moist cloth. Only use cleaning
agents that do not attack the actuator surface.
Body / Diaphragm
The bodies are suitable for CIP. Clean the valves using cleaning
agents that do not attack the body and diaphragm materials. Avoid
cleaning agents with high pH values.
