Clean the Summit Spectrometer

Thermo Scientific
Before cleaning the Thermo Scientific™ Nicolet™ Summit spectrometer, turn it off and
disconnect the power supply.
Gently clean the exterior of the instrument with a soft, clean cloth lightly dampened with
mild soap.
Dust can collect on the electronics enclosure on the back of the instrument and can
potentially interfere with heat dissipation, which may reduce the lifetime of the electronic
components.
To remove dust from the back of the instrument, use compressed air to blow the dust off. Do
not use any liquid when removing dust from the back of the spectrometer.
CAUTION To avoid shock hazard, do not allow liquid to run into the power supply or the
back of the instrument.
NOTICE Do not use harsh detergents, solvents, chemicals, or abrasives; these can damage
the finish. Do not allow liquid to contact any windows in the sample compartment.
CAUTION Windows can be scratched and ruined very easily. Do not touch or attempt to
clean them. Dust will not affect the signal, but fingerprints can degrade the performance
of the instrument and permanently damage mirrors or windows. If you wish to remove
dust from a mirror or window, blow it off with a gentle stream of clean, dry air or
nitrogen. Never allow any liquid to come into contact with a window or optical
component in the instrument.
