2. PROPER USE
The device is exclusively designed as a built-in device for moving air
according to its technical data.
Any other or secondary use is deemed improper and constitutes a
misuse of the device.
Installations on the customer's side must meet the mechanical, thermal
and service life-related stresses that can occur.
Proper use also includes:
● Moving air with a density of 1.2 kg/m³.
● Using the device in accordance with the permitted ambient
temperature, see chapter 3.5 Transport and storage conditions and
chapter 3.2 Nominal data.
● Operating the device with all protective features in place.
● Minding the operating instructions.

Improper use
Using the device in the following ways is particularly prohibited and
may cause hazards:
● Operating the device with an imbalance, e.g. caused by dirt deposits
or icing.
● Moving air that contains abrasive particles.
● Moving highly corrosive air, e.g. salt spray mist. Exceptions are
devices that are intended for salt spray mist and protected accordingly.
● Moving air that contains dust pollution, e.g. suctioning off saw dust.
● Operating the device close to flammable materials or components.
● Operating the device in an explosive atmosphere.
● Using the device as a safety component or for taking on safety-
related functions.
● Operation with completely or partially disassembled or modified
protective features.
● In addition, all application options that are not listed under proper use.
