MAINTENANCE - MONTHLY
MONTHLY...CHANGE CHEMISTRY
If the bottom of the Developer tank is coated with black residue and/or the white gears on the
side of the Developer rack are stained grey or black, the developer has been contaminated.
The Developer tank and rack must be cleaned with Formula 2000 Plus.
CAUTION:
Do not turn ON power when the Developer and Fixer tanks are empty. Turn on
the POWER switch OFF before removing the cover, the rack assemblies, or
disconnecting any electrical cables.
Important:
Do not use Formula 2000 Plus in Fixer Tank.
1. REMOVE COVER
q
Disconnect the cover electrical cable from the
processor base and remove the cover.
2. REMOVE RACK ASSEMBLIES
q
Remove all the rack assemblies, taking care not
to drip fixer into the Developer tank.
3. DRAIN AND CLEAN TANKS
CAUTION:
Be sure to dispose of any chemistry and chem-
istry laden water in accordance with local codes.
q
Unscrew and remove the Fixer, Developer and
Wash tank drain tubes and completely drain the
tanks. Replace the color - coded drain tubes, fill
all three tanks with warm water, then drain.
Repeat this drain/fill drain sequence 4 times all
together.
q
Locate the chemistry agitators in the bottom of the Fixer and Developer tanks.
These agitators mix the chemistry in the tanks, preventing crystallization and
optimizing chemistry performance. To make sure that the agitators move freely
and to prevent the agitator screws from seizing, the agitators must be disassembled
and cleaned regularly:
- Remove the thumb screw, plastic cap, magnet, washer and ceramic post.
- Clean all the parts with Spray 2000 Plus and warm water.
- Rinse thoroughly and set aside.
q
While the chemistry agitators are disassembled, wipe down the tanks with
sponges to eliminate any chemistry residue. Use a separate sponge for each tank.
q
Reassemble the chemistry agitators as shown in Agitator Assembly drawing
above.
q
Refill all tanks with warm water to the fill line.
q
Reinstall the drain tubes.
q
Fill all the tanks with warm water to the fill line.
4. FLUSH AGITATORS
q
Replace the processor cover (reconnect the cover electrical cable to the base),
press and hold CLEANING MODE and turn ON the power at the same time. When
CLEANING MODE is pressed, the agitators rotate and are rinsed by the warm
water in the tanks. CLEANING MODE doesn't have initial replenishment.
q
Shut OFF the power after two minutes.
q
Disconnect the cover electrical cable from the base, remove the processor cover
and drain all three tanks.
q
Thoroughly wipe up any standing water with a clean paper towel or separate
sponges. Any water remaining in the tanks will dilute the chemistry. Reinstall the
color - coded drain tubes.
