The lift is manufactured and designed to be assembled as described in the Cibes Assembly Instructions. Any additions to or modifications of the lift that are not authorised by Cibes 
and performed by Cibes or our certified partners, can affect the function and safety of the lift. If a part of the lift needs replacing it must be sourced and provided by Cibes. The manufacturer is not liable for functional faults or safety defects arising from unauthorised parts, additions, or modifications. The lift is designed to be used as described in this user guide. The manufacturer is not liable for functional faults or safety defects due to reckless use or vandalism.
Cibes Lift AB manufacturers lifts approved and certified by EU notified bodies.
Cibes Lift AB products undergo thorough inspections and quality control before leaving the factory.

The list below includes a number of terms and definitions included in the body of this user guide.

Owner: The person who owns the lift. 
Lift user: A person who uses the lift. 
Competent personnel: A person with training, knowledge, and practical experience in the maintenance of Cibes’ lifts in a safe manner.

<ul>
<li>Cibes A4000</li>
<li>Cibes A5000</li>
<li>Cibes Air</li>

Door automation: An option allowing landing doors to open automatically upon the lift&#8217;s arrival.
Call button: The button is located on the side of the door frame, allowing the lift to be called to the desired landing.
Control panel: The control panel inside the lift with control buttons for the lift.
Control buttons: The buttons on the control panel command the lift to go to the chosen landing. They have priority on the call button. The control buttons are “hold to run&#8221;, meaning they must be pressed during the entire lift ride.
Emergency stop: It is a push button on the control panel that makes the lift come to a complete stop. When activated, it cuts the lift&#8217;s power supply, which will stop the lift immediately. To get the lift to start again, the emergency stop must be released.
Safety edges: Mechanical pressure profiles are located along three of the four sides of the lift floor to ensure passenger safety, making getting clothing and other things stuck between the lift floor and the lift shaft impossible. When applying pressure, the lift stops as a security measure.
Safety bar: A mechanical pressure profile is located above the control panel to ensure passenger safety, making getting clothing and other things stuck between the lift back and the lift shaft impossible. When applying pressure, the lift stops as a security measure.

<li>Are any of the safety edges or the safety bar activated? 
Remove all pressure from safety equipment.</li>
<li>Is the emergency button activated? 
Cibes A5000: turn the button to release it. 
Cibes Air: Press down the exposed metal tip and raise the emergency stop button.</li>
<li>Are the lights on the lift flashing? 
The lift is resetting and will resume in two minutes.</li>
<li>Is there an audible alarm, and are the control panel buttons flashing?

When you open the CiMon app, there will be a list of available Bluetooth devices. In that list, choose your lift. The app will ask you to enter the lift’s CiDis number, given to you at installation. When you have entered the number, a code will appear on your mobile screen. Give that code to the lift technician. It allows the technician to connect to your lift remotely. It also lets you download and send the lift log file to the lift technician.

Installing a lift is an investment in your comfort. It must be used and maintained correctly to extend its lifespan.
<h3>3 ways to extend the lifetime of your lift:</h3>
<h4>1. Follow the instructions in this user manual.</h4>
Keep this manual to ensure the proper functioning of your lift.
<h4>2. Schedule regular maintenance</h4>
Following the maintenance schedule will help ensure that your lift is in good working order.
<h4>3. Carry out regular checks</h4>
Inspect the parts of the lift, such as buttons and handles, to prevent possible malfunctions between maintenance visits. If the lift starts to make strange noises, contact your maintenance personnel.
How to contact Cibes Lift: 
You can contact us for advice. As a manufacturer, we are committed to meeting your requests. Please send an email with the lift number* to: <a href="mailto:info@cibesliftgroup.com">info@cibesliftgroup.com</a>
*The lift number is indicated on the CE sticker on the control panel.

Given the variety of materials used in the manufacture of lifts, take care to use the right product in the right place to ensure the longevity of the parts of your lift.
<h3>To keep your lift clean throughout its lifetime, follow the below steps:</h3>
<h4>1. Interior cleaning</h4>
a. Use an alcohol-based solution on painted surfaces like the control panel. Be careful not to spray directly on any buttons. 
b. On unpainted surfaces, such as buttons, it is recommended to use an alcohol-free solution so as not to damage the plastics over time. 
c. Use a vacuum cleaner for the floor.
Danger: Keep all liquids away from electronic components. If contact occurs, unplug the lift immediately and wipe the piece as dry as possible, then contact your competent personnel.
<h4>2. Ceiling cleaning</h4>
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft nozzle to remove any dust. If there are stains, remove them with a cloth. Ensure not to come into contact with lighting surfaces.
<h4>3. Cleaning the bottom of the lift pit</h4>
Only competent personnel must clean the bottom of the lift pit. This is included in your maintenance visits. Do not enter the pit to clean.
<h4>4. Exterior cleaning</h4>
Use a cloth, warm water, and soap to clean the doors, shaft, and glazing. For steel surfaces, be sure to use a non-corrosive cleaning product.
Caution: If you have an outdoor lift, keeping a clean area free from gravel and leaves, in front of the lift is essential.

Never spray water or cleaning product directly on the lift. Always spray on the cloth.

Never clean the lift pit yourself. Pit cleaning must always be performed by competent personnel.

Always make sure to use mild, non-corrosive detergents to clean the exterior of your lift.

<h3>Linen finish</h3>
Dust is drawn to linen. Regular cleaning is vital for fabric covered surfaces. We recommend using a textile spray. This makes it more difficult for dirt to set and will be easier to remove. Vacuum the fabric with a suitable nozzle once a week. 
If the fabric has been stained, follow the steps below:
<ul>
<li>Act as soon as possible 
Start by trying to remove the stains with a damp cloth. A detergent foam for cleaning fabrics and furniture can be used for more prominent stains. Always read the product information on how it should be used first. Do not use stain removers not intended for cleaning fabrics and furniture, as they can bleach your fabric.</li>
<li>Always use white cloths 
Try to avoid rubbing the stain. Apply detergent, let it set, then press the stain several times with a clean cloth, paper towel, or sponge. This draws out the stain. If you must scrub, use circular movements toward the center of the stain. If the fabric is to be disinfected, it must be thoroughly cleaned first. Please note that disinfection of fabric may cause some colour bleaching. Use neutral ethanol if necessary.</li>
</ul>
Avoid disinfectants containing bleach.
<h3>Wool finish</h3>
Wool does not attract dirt as quickly as other fabrics. Vacuum or brush the fabric once a week. Regular cleaning helps detect stains before they stick. This will make stain removal easier. 
If the fabric has been stained, follow the steps below:
<ul>
<li>Gently scrape off the stain and vacuum/brush the fabric. Do not use a too sharp tool to scrape, as this may damage the fabric if the stain has dried.</li>
<li>Use ordinary detergent with Neutral pH, diluted in lukewarm water if the stain is not removed. Always read the product information on how it should be used. Avoid heavily dampening the wool, which may leave stains and shrink the fabric.</li>
<li>Wipe off as much as possible with a dry cloth, towel, or sponge.</li>
<li>Press a dry cloth, paper towel or sponge to the fabric each time water is added to remove moisture and dirt.</li>
<li>Use clean water without detergent for final cleaning. The area may appear darker than the surrounding tissue after cleaning with water. This will become less noticeable over time. Wool can be disinfected with ethanol, but this will damage the wool&#8217;s natural fat (lanolin), cause colour changes, and shorten the life of the fabric. Therefore, this method should only be used if no other alternative exists.</li>
</ul>
