7.0 Inspection Procedure
Look for etching or chipping on the top plate. If any of these conditions are
present, discontinue use and contact Corning for additional instructions.
Check if the power cord is damaged. If the cord is damaged, do not
modify the grounded power plug to avoid shock hazard or any other unit
component. Service should always be done by qualified technicians using
Corning instructions. Contact Corning for additional instructions.
8.0 Preventive Maintenance
Disconnect power by unplugging the unit before performing any
maintenance or service.
Always use a grounded power outlet.
Keep the top surface clean and dry. Unplug the unit and use non-abrasive
cleaner. Contact Corning if you have any questions about the compatibility
of decontamination or cleaning agents.
Clean spills promptly. If liquid or solid material gets inside the product,
immediately disconnect power to the product, use non-abrasive cleaner,
and discontinue use. Contact Corning for additional instructions regarding
interior spills.
