20 Nicolet iS20 User Guide
If the outside of your instrument needs cleaning, turn off the instrument and disconnect the
power supply. When this is done, you can use a soft cloth that is damp (not wet) and a mild
soap to clean the outside of the instrument.
WARNING To avoid a 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 run contact any windows, such as those that may be in
the sample compartment.
• Mirror surfaces and 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
instrument performance 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
