Precautions for Prevention of Failures
• When cleaning the instrument, do not use any organic solvents
(xylene).
If any organic solvents ow into the parafn line between the parafn
chamber and the dispenser, the internal parts may degrade or
deform, resulting in failure. Also, the coatings and materials on/of the
exterior panels, control panel display, etc., may deteriorate.
• Do not turn the parafn ow rate adjustment dial unless the parafn
is in molten state.
If the dial is forcibly turned when the paraffin is solid, failure may
result.
• Do not close the parafn ow rate adjustment dial after work.
If the paraffin cools down and solidifies when the flow rate
adjustment dial is fully closed, the parafn may expand the next time
it is melted, and leak out from the ow rate adjustment dial.
• Do not put anything on top of the instrument.
Failure or unexpected problems may occur.
• Do not put hot paraffin whose temperature exceeds 80°C in the
instrument.
Do not put paraffin, etc., whose temperature exceeds 80°C in the
paraffin chamber or warming chamber. It may lead to instrument
failure.
• Do not block the intake port.
Cold spot failure may occur.
