MAINTENANCE
Note: Prior to any maintenance or service on this unit, disconnect service cord from
the power supply.
5.1
Cleaning: Heavy water bath use causes soiling. Clean the bath with mild soap and
water solution, rinse with clean water and wipe dry with soft cloth. Stainless steel
does not rust, but foreign materials in the tank may rust or leave rust spots. If
corrosion is seen, scrub out the stains with a mild abrasive, never steel wool. The
"PC" models, polymer coated stainless steel tanks, should only be cleaned with mild
soap - NO ABRASIVES. DO NOT USE chlorine-based bleaches or harsh
abrasives as this can damage the tank, regardless if it is stainless steel or
polymer coated. DO NOT USE spray cleaners that might leak through openings
and cracks and get on electrical parts or that may contain solvents that will harm
coatings. Failure to do this may permanently damage the unit.
WARNING: Never clean the unit with alcohol or flammable cleaners with the unit
connected to the electrical supply. Always disconnect the unit from the electrical
service when cleaning and assure all volatile or flammable cleaners are evaporated
and dry before reattaching the unit to the power supply.
Note: The heating element of this bath does not contact the tank bottom, thus will
not burn out if the tank is allowed to run dry. However, a tank going dry may strain
interior surfaces so this should not be allowed to occur.
WARNING: If tank boils dry while containing plasticware, the plastic will melt. If you
intend to use test-tube racks, remember that wire racks or plastic coated wire racks
may wear and expose metal which can cause damage. Preferably, use all plastic.

There is no maintenance required on any of the electrical components. If the unit
