Periodic Maintenance
Cleaning Chemical Residue Buildup
The processor should be cleaned regularly to prevent corrosion and chemical
residue buildup, media transport problems, and contamination of the processing
baths.
The frequency of cleaning depends upon the operating environment. We
recommend that you include periodic cleaning in your workload schedule.
Always use warm water and a soft cloth to clean all surfaces.
Cleaning the Processor Tanks
The processor tanks need to be cleaned only when the residue buildup becomes
unacceptable to the operator and/or service personnel.
To clean the processor tanks:
1. Turn off the processor.
2. Insert the drainage hose for the tank into an empty effluent bottle.
3. Open the valve to drain the chemicals from the processor tanks.
4. Remove the top cover from the processor.
5. Rinse the processor tanks with water.
