4 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
4.1 Maintenance
Maintenance of the instruments is limited to the following operations:
• Disconnect the power unit of the Stemi DV4 / DR from the line after use. Use a suitable cover to
protect the instruments from dust and humidity.
• Never expose the instruments to inadmissible climatic conditions (high humidity and temperature).
The best way to remove stubborn dirt on glass surfaces, e.g. finger prints or traces of grease, is the use
of a piece of cotton wrapped around a wooden stick and a small amount of distilled water or a non-
aggressive solution:
• distilled water: clean glass surface using a slightly moistened wad of cotton by moving in circles
starting in the middle.
• optics cleaning solution, consisting of 15% isopropanol and 85 % medical alcohol (benzoline): clean
glass surface using a slightly moistened wad of cotton by moving in circles starting in the middle.
• remove dust from optical surfaces using a natural hair brush or an air blower.
• plastic components must be cleaned with commercially available cleaning agents (no solutions!).
Stubborn dirt can be carefully treated with pure benzene or petroleum ether.
