components, a compound solution of "Ultra-Silver 10,000 PPM" (AgH2O),
obtaining an antibacterial and anti-fungal general effect
How it works:
The dirty air passes thru the water pan and gets in contact with the plastic
walls impregnated with silver atoms, which inhibits the bacteria’s breathing,
affecting its growing cellular metabolism, and this process FINALLY GETS
A CLEAN OUTLET OF AIR FREE OF BACTERIA, FUNGUS, AND MOSS
UP TO 99.99%.

•
In a double-insulation appliance, such as the ROBOT PLATINUM, there are two
insulation systems instead of one that would require a ground connection.
Therefore, this appliance does not need to be grounded. The service of an
appliance with double insulation requires extreme caution, the service personnel
must be familiarized with the system, and it must be performed only by trained
service personnel. Replacement parts for an equipment with double insulation
must be identical to the ones being replaced. The appliance with double
insulation must have registered the words “double insulation”, “double insulated”
or “¨ ”.
The appliances must be marked with a symbol represented by a square
within another square. Every service operation, with the exception of
cleaning, must be performed by an authorized representative. We are not
liable for any equipment that has been totally or partially replaced by
personnel not authorized by Va cma n Inte rna ciona l, S .A. de C .V .
