Cleaning the Components

This section explains how to clean the target mask, the white calibration cap, and the
inside of the integrating sphere.
Target mask
• If the target mask becomes dirty, moisten a soft cloth with water, wring the cloth, and
gently wipe off the dirt. After wiping off the dirt, clean the mask with ethanol.
• If the inside becomes dirty, blow off the dirt or dust using a blower.
Notes • Do not touch the inside of the target mask or use a cloth to wipe off dust
or dirt on the mask. If the target mask is dirty, and the dirt cannot be
removed by a blower or the like, contact a KONICA MINOLTA-authorized
service facility.
• When touching food products directly for measurement, pay extra
attention to food safety and follow the directives for the specifi c country
and municipality.
White Calibration Cap
• If the white calibration area becomes dirty, gently wipe the dirt off using a soft cloth. If
the dirt does not come off easily, wipe using a cloth soaked in commercial lens cleaner,
and then wipe using a cloth soaked in water before drying.
• If areas other than the white calibration area become dirty, gently wipe the dirt off using
a cloth soaked in water or soapy water. Never use solvents such as thinner or benzene.
Notes Take care so as not to scratch the white calibration area.
