7 Maintenance and Service
All Grant laboratory products are designed to comply with IEC1010-1 and can be flash tested.
Some are fitted with radio frequency interference suppressors. Therefore it is recommended
that only a d.c. test is performed.
SUB baths only:
The over temperature cut-out should be checked periodically by turning the set over
temperature control anticlockwise until the alarm lamp comes on. The cut-out should then be
reset and set-up (see 3.1.3). If the alarm lamp fails to light with the knob turned fully
anticlockwise the unit should be checked by a competent person.
No other routine maintenance is required.
7.1 Cleaning
The cases can be cleaned with a damp cloth after disconnection. Do not use solvents. The
immersed parts can be cleaned using proprietary heating element cleaners. CAUTION: these
may be toxic - follow the cleaner manufacturer's instructions.
Before using any decontamination or cleaning method except that recommended, check with
our Service Department, or in other countries with our distributor, that the proposed method will
not damage the equipment
