Daily Care
Before use...
• Remove dirt and dust from film feed tray with soft, lint-free cloth.
• Run 2 - 3 cleaner films through processor to remove all accumulated dirt and
dust from the rollers.
• Check the fluid level in the replenishment containers and if necessary refill.
After use...
• When work has been completed at the end of the day, drain water out of the
machine. This avoids the growth of algae in the water.
Weekly Care
The developer chemicals cause residue buildup in the machine. This residue has a
negative effect on the developing process of the film material. For this reason the
processor should be regularly cleaned. Proceed as follows:
1. Switch machine off and remove cover.
2. Loosen the securing latches (red, blue and beige) of the drive shafts of each
roller rack at the right side.
3. Remove the roller-racks. First of all remove the large dryer-rack (beige). The
racks are easier to remove and insert when they are slightly tilted. Use the
grey drip catcher forms to ensure that no chemicals splash when being car-
ried. Then remove the fixer (blue) and developer (red) racks in sequence.
4. Rinse all racks thoroughly under warm running water and then leave to drain
off. It is advisable to use a soft sponge (do not use scouring-pad, as this
would scratch the rollers) and remove any dirt from the rollers.
5. Replace the racks: Red = Developer, Blue = Fixer. Beige = Washing/Drying.
Ensure that the racks are firmly installed and do not forget to close the secur-
ing latches on the drive shafts.
6. Replace machine cover and ensure it is securely closed.
7. Clean processor outer shell with damp cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaners
or solvents.
Attention: To prevent damage to the processor, avoid liquid
contact, except for designated areas such as the processor
tanks. Use extreme care to prevent any liquid contact with the
processor controls.
Please note: When removing the Rinsing / Drying roller-rack,
ensure that no water gets into the film dryer air channel.
