WARNING: Disconnect equipment from main power before attempting
any maintenance to equipment or its controls unless stated otherwise.
To clean the cabinet interior, remove the shelves, drawers, or baskets following
the instructions in Section 7.3, Section 7.4 and Section 7.5. Use a solution of
water and a mild detergent for cleaning. Rinse the interior storage components
and wipe them dry with a soft cloth.
Clean the condenser filters every three months. There is one condenser filter
located in the back cage of the unit that can be accessed without removing the
back cage or disconnecting the power.
To clean the filter, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the filter by pulling upwards through the slot in the back cage.
2. Shake the filter to remove loose dust.
3. Rinse the filter in clean water.
4. Shake the excess water from the filter and let it dry.
5. Reinstall filter by pushing downwards through the slot in the back cage.
CAUTION: Do not pull the filter downwards from the bottom. The
condenser has sharp surfaces.
CAUTION: Condensers should be cleaned at least every six months; more
often if the laboratory area is dusty. In heavy traffic areas, condensers load
with dirt more quickly. Failure to keep the condenser clean can result in
equipment warm-up or erratic temperatures.
CAUTION: Never clean around the condensers with your fingers. Some
surfaces are sharp.
