Daily Inspection and Cleaning
Inspection and Cleaning Methods
Inspect and clean the instrument periodically to prevent instrument malfunction and failure. Unless
otherwise specified in this manual, perform inspection and cleaning with the power turned off.
Cleaning the Solution Reservoirs and Baskets
Clean solution reservoirs and baskets with water or neutral detergent. If solution has attached to a
reservoir/basket and the color or stain does not come off easily, soak the reservoir/basket in a commercial
chemical dye cleaner or bleach (diluted to the manufacturer’s instruction), and then clean with neutral
detergent. Sometimes cleaning does not fully remove built-up stains. To prevent stains from building up, it
is recommended that the solution reservoirs/baskets be cleaned after each staining. Alternatively, use
different solution reservoirs/baskets for each solution so that the reservoirs/baskets with solution stains
can still be used.
Cleaning the Drying Stations
In the instrument, the two rightmost stations located at the back are drying stations. First, remove the two
special attachments from the drying stations. Next, clean the stations using neutral detergent, and then
wipe down with a dry cloth. Store the stations by following the removal steps in the reverse order. If the
drying stations are not set properly, the drying function will not operate properly.
Cleaning the Heating Stations
In the instrument, the two rightmost stations located at
the front are heating stations. Remove the heating
stations by holding the two tongues at the edges of the
heating station. Exercise due caution when handling the
heating stations, because these stations remain very hot
immediately after any operation in which the heating
stations have been used. To clean the heating stations,
clean with neutral detergent and then wipe down with a
dry cloth. After cleaning, store the stations in the original
positions. The interior of the heating stations is coated
with Teflon. When cleaning, make sure the coating is not
rubbed with sharp edges, as the coating will be scraped
off.
