maintenance, servicing or cleaning.
Regular cleaning of the instrument according to the cleaning instructions enclosed in this user manual will ensure
that the instrument continues to operate efficiently and safely in normal everyday use. Cleaning or
decontamination methods, other than those recommended in this guide, should be checked with your instrument
supplier to ensure that the proposed method will not damage the instrument.
1. The outer case work of the Wax Dispenser, including the control panel, may be wiped using small
quantities of mild detergent or polishes applied with a soft cloth.
2. The internal tank can be emptied by locking the delivery tap into the continuous flow position. Any residual
wax at the bottom of the tank can be removed using absorbent tissues and wiped clean.
3. The filter (0.5mm mesh) situated at the bottom of the tank can be cleaned in-situ using a toothbrush or
similar brush, or lifted out once the bolts are removed for more thorough cleaning using solvents. (If removing
the filter it is recommended that protective gloves are worn).
NOTE: DO NOT
use scouring pads, de-scaling agents or solvents to clean any parts of this equipment.
Preventative maintenance should include keeping the product clean by protecting it from spillage, contamination
or corrosive environments. If in doubt, please confirm that any intended method of decontamination will not
damage the equipment by contacting Antylia Scientific.
Antylia Scientific recommend that a simple annual inspection be made in order that any malfunction can be identi-
fied and rectified as early as possible. This is to ensure user safety and prolong instrument life span.
Recommended checks to be made:
1. Condition of Power Lead. A visual inspection to ensure the insulation is not damaged and that the correct fuse
is fitted.
2. Functioning of Heater On Lamp. Heater lamp should be on when the instrument is warming up.
3. Condition of the wax dispenser tank and filter (0.5mm mesh). Both tank and filter should be in good condition
with no evidence of corrosion and no damage visible to the filter screen.
4. Dispensing Tap Seal. The dispensing tap should seal correctly with no occurrence of constantly dripping wax
when the tap is not in use.
NOTE:
It is normal for a small quantity of molten wax to remain in the tap after it is closed. This residual wax
will drip out, however it will be short lived and will be in very small quantities.
