If necessary, request a BÖWE customer service technician.
The escape of larger amounts of solvent is a reportable malfunction. It must be reported to the
responsible authorities, industrial control group, fire department, water resources board or
subordinate water authorities.
P21/P26/P30

2 Safety Regulations 2
The proper handling of perchlorethylene is an important prerequisite for workplace safety.
Note the following potential hazards:
TETRACHLORETHENE (perc) is a very good grease remover; it also removes natural oils from
unprotected skin.
Protection: Wear solvent-resistant protective gloves; apply skin cream with oil to the hands.
Liquid TETRACHLORETHENE (perc) is a strong irritant to the eyes.
Protection: Wear protective goggles.
Inhalation of TETRACHLORETHENE (perc) vapors reduces alcohol tolerance.
Protection: Do not consume alcohol while working or for a short time after.
TETRACHLORETHENE (perc) decomposes in the presence of an open flame or red-hot parts.
Protection: No smoking.
TETRACHLORETHENE (perc) vapors irritate the mucous membranes of the respiratory
passage and eyes.
Protection: Prevent vapors from escaping and wear respiratory equipment when performing
extensive maintenance work (DIN 3181 gas filter, brown).
Caution:
It is possible to smell perc (odor threshold) in concentrations as low as 5 ml/m3of air.
TETRACHLORETHENE (perc) has an effect on the central nervous system similar to
an anesthetic and can result in unconsciousness and, in very high concentrations,
even in death.
Do not overload the machine!
Special rules and regulations for the area where the machine is installed are defined in the operating
instructions provided by the customer company. These instructions also contain information on all
additional protective measures, information on correct behavior during operating malfunctions
according to the local conditions and first aid instructions.

5.1 Operating Environment 5.1
5.1.1 Regulations
You must observe applicable regulations for room ventilation and size,
odor and noise emissions, accident prevention, etc. The switch panel contains
contacts for the room ventilation control system (see Point 7.3.2).
Noise level: 62dB (A)
(Average value at 6 measurement points at a distance of 2 m (78.7 in) from
the machine and 1.60 m (63.0 in) above the floor.
If there is an increase in the air-borne sound (for example, resonance) because of the spatial
conditions at the place of installation (for example, the condition of and distances between walls
and ceiling), you must take local sound insulation measures.
5.1.2 Temperature
Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight. Ensure that there is an adequate air supply for the heat
exchange (heat buildup.)
Room temperatures under 5 °C (41 °F) are not permitted because of the risk that the water in the
system will freeze.
During continuous operation, the room temperature is not permitted to exceed 40 °C (104 °F)
because of increased solvent consumption and for safety reasons.
Heat dissipated to the surroundings: *

* 2-bath procedure, precleaning bath, low level for distillation
5.1.3 Structural Surroundings
Partitions, panels, suspended ceilings and other structures near the machine must be installed in
such a way that they do not interfere with the operation, that no heat buildup occurs and that they
can be easily removed for maintenance and repair work.
P21/P26/P30

5 Installation 5
5.1.4 Machine Environment
Do not operate systems with open flames, such as gas-heated flatwork
ironers or tumblers, in the same room because poisonous, corrosive gases
could result from the solvent decomposition.
No surfaces with a temperature of more than 140° C (284° F) are permitted in the machine
room.
You must ensure that the air from the machine room cannot escape into a heating room, if
there is one in the area.
The air from the machine room is not permitted to be fed into the exhaust line of a furnace
system.
