Very special care must therefore be exercised when cleaning the IR-blocking filter and the CCD glass.
Furthermore, electrostatically charged surfaces attract dust particles from their surroundings.
• Only use the materials included in the Sinar cleaning set. These materials were tested thorough-
ly by Sinar to ensure their suitability and compatibility. The user will be responsible for damages
caused by the use of other cleaning materials.
• Meticulously careful use of the tip of a very fine brush or the tip of a tiny sponge can be emplyed for
removing individual dust particles from a surface. When there is more than just a little dust, short
brush stokes must be applied from the center towards the outside. The brush should be applied to
the surface very lightly.
• Care must be used when blowing away dust particles with compressed air from a can. Conden-
sation may cause the accumulation of liquid inside the can. Therefore a basic precaution before an
application is to check whether the air from the spray can is truly dry. To that end, before blowing
on the surface to be cleaned, always first spray air from an appropriate distance towards the floor in
order to clear the nozzle of any accumulated liquid. Sinar recommends „Ultrajet Duster System Refill
Cans“ from Chemtronics.
• It is very important to carefully remove any loose dust particles before wiping a surface.
• Never use a dry cleaning cloth to wipe a dusty, uncleaned surface, because the dirt particles being
rubbed into the surface may create scratches on those surfaces. The wiping movement should be
performed without pressure and it should always be in one direction only (not back and forth).
• A visible difference between a cleaned and an untreated area after a partial cleaning of a surface
indicates the presence of a large soiled area that will require an overall cleaning of the complete sur-
face. In such cases, the entire surface should be wiped in only one direction (not back and forth), and
in uninterrupted, continuous strokes across the whole surface. The cleaning cloth should be folded
after each wiping procedure in such a way that the used portion will not be in use.
• Wiping motions across protruding or sharp edges, which would occur when the area to be cleaned
is framed by a raised edge, must be avoided at all times. In that situation, first wipe the surface along
the edge and then wipe it just to the edge, but not across it.
