Cleaning is the only regular maintenance required on the
ILFOLAB 2150RC processing system. Regular cleaning will
ensure correct operation and consistently high print quality.
CAUTION
During the following procedures do not allow water to enter
areas of the processor or dryer containing electrical components.
Please refer to the Safety Precautions at the front of this manual.
DAILY ROUTINE
Clean the rollers by processing a few sheets of fogged paper. If
the last of the sheets is returned free of deposits or marks, the
processor is ready for use. If there are any significant marks on
the sheets, carry out the three monthly procedure detailed in
section 8.4.
If the processor is being used without the dryer, change the
water in the print receive dish at least once a day.
ROUTINE PROCEDURE BETWEEN CHEMICAL
CHANGES
Chemicals must be changed after a maximum of two weeks in
the processor, or sooner if the recommended processing capacity
is reached (see section 10.1).
To ensure the strip-down cleaning is limited to three monthly
intervals, it is important to carry out the automatic rinsing
procedure, detailed in section 7, prior to adding fresh chemicals.
By doing this, the build up of chemical deposits is kept to a
minimum.
MONTHLY ROUTINE
To prevent a build up of algae in the wash water tank, clean the
wash roller rack and tank (see section 8.4).
