Storage
It is important that the microscope is covered with the enclosed protective cover after
each use. In the long term, this is the only way to protect it from getting dirty. Ideally
the microscope will be used in an air-conditioned room. If the microscope is not used
for several days, then we would recommend that it is stored in a cupboard with its
protective cover. Dust and moisture are the greatest enemies of the microscope.

Maintenance
These microscopes are generally maintenance-free. Service work should be limited
to the replacement of bulbs, light sources and electrical fuses. Should a defect occur,
please contact your dealer or KERN Service.
7.1 Changing the bulb
The devices in the OBE range all have LED lighting. In general, LEDs are very long-
lasting. However, if you still suspect that a bulb is broken, then please contact our
Service Department.
7.2 Changing the fuse
Switch the device off and unplug it. Unscrew the fuse housing on the right next to the
mains cable socket, remove the old fuse and fit a new fuse. Screw the fuse housing
back in.
