Section 6
Disconnect the power cord prior to performing any maintenance.
Handle the circulator with care. Sudden jolts or drops can damage its
components.
After time, the circulator's stainless steel surfaces may show spots and
become tarnished. Normal stainless steel cleaners can be used.
Clean the bath vessel and built-in components at least every time the
reservoir fluid is changed. Use water and a soft cloth.
Do not use scouring powder.
The inside of the bath must be kept clean in order to ensure a long service
life. Quickly remove substances containing acidic or alkaline substances
and metal shavings as they could harm the surfaces causing corrosion.
If corrosion (e.g., small rust marks) occurs in spite of this, cleaning with
stainless steel caustic agents has proved to be suitable. Apply these substances
according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Do not use any substances which contain solvents.
In order to maintain the cooling capacity of a refrigerated bath, clean the fins
two to four times per year, depending on the operating environment.
Switch off the circulator and unplug the power cord.
For ARCTIC A40
1 Remove the condenser panel.
2 Clean fins with brush or similar tool.
3 Replace the panel.
For all other refrigerated baths:
Clean the fins with compressed air.
For extreme soiling a qualified technician will need to remove the cooling
compressor casing.
Inspect and tighten the tubing and clamps daily.
