System Maintenance
Caution:
General Information
• Always turn off the unit when not in operation.
• Electrical connections and any other work must be performed by Anova certified personnel only.
Maintaining Cooling Performance
Coolant Maintenance
1. Power off chiller and open chiller reservoir drain port.
2. Drain reservoir into drip pan. Tip chiller to remove all fluid from the reservoir.
3. Flush chiller. If it is a water-soluble coolant, use water to flush out. If it is an oil-based coolant, use
surfactant and water to flush out. For cleaning the bath tank and the immersed parts of the circulator,
use a mild surfactant like dish soap and a soft brush. Do not use steel wool or bleach - this will cause
corrosion and pitting of the bath.
4. Turn chiller on.
Cleaning the Exhaust Vent
1. Wipe the rear exhaust vent with a wet towel.
2. Remove any excess restrictions with compressed air.
Cleaning the Air Filter
1. Remove front panel.
2. Remove the air filter.
3. Clean under running water. This may require surfactants or detergents based on air contents.
Chiller Maintenance Schedule
1. Replace coolant when visibly dirty. Although it is possible to run the instrument, using old coolant
will significantly decrease instrument usability and life by clogging the pump and restricting
system performance.
