What's Included in an Annual Checkup?
ATMOS Manufacturer Recommendation
ATMOS explicitly recommends in the LC27 and C341 user manuals: electrical safety re-check every 24 months. Expected machine lifespan is 5 years (under correct operation and cleaning conditions). Annual checkups help track performance trends and catch potential issues early.
