2. Daily Inspection
Perform the following inspections and cleaning periodically in order to maintain
theoperational performance of the equipment.
Every time
When a solvent, wax and cosmetics, etc. were stuck in the body surface,
it's wiped up promptly.
* A crack may occur to plastic resin.
Recommended Once-Weekly Maintenance
Clean the Ventilation Intakes and exhaust (front/back/left/right).
Wipe clean with a cloth, or if there is significant accumulation of dust,
clean with a toothbrush.
* The main equipment, including the
LED Lamp, Sample Block and
circuits, need to be cooled by air. Dirty ventilation intakes may cause
decreased functional capability and shortening of operating lifetime.
Clean the Lid and the main unit.
Wipe the outside of the equipment with a cloth soaked a little in a neutral
detergent. Then wipe with a dry cloth.
Verify the sliding action of the Lid. Wipe off any dirt or debris around the
rails.
* Wiping the Lid rails with a dry cloth is sufficient. It is not necessary to
lubricate.
Disinfect by wiping with a 10% bleach solution. Allow to leave for 10
minutes, then wipe with a 70% ethyl alcohol solution in the same place.
Lastly, wipe with a dry cloth to dry the surface.
Caution: If bleach solution remains on the equipment, it may lead to
corrosion. Therefore, always wipe with ethyl alcohol after using bleach.
Recommended Once-Monthly Maintenance (or occasionally based on
frequency of use or soiling conditions):
Clean the Sample Block.
* For the cleaning method, refer to the next section
“Sample Block
