protection features, which are described in the
following sections.
6.1 Over-Power Protection

personal injury or death. If you have any questions

7 Maintenance
WARNING.
Disconnect power to the unit
before servicing to avoid exposure to high
voltages and/or temperatures which may result in
personal injury or death. If you have any questions
about maintaining your equipment, please do not
hesitate to contact the Koehler technical service
department.
7.1 Routine Maintenance
The K13992 Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point
Tester requires little routine maintenance to
provide many years of continuous service.
However, over the course of time, some
instrument parts may need to be replaced. When
ordering replacement part(s), please provide the
model number, serial number, and product
shipment date of your equipment so that we can
ensure you will receive the proper replacement
part(s).
7.2 Instrument Cleaning
To clean the instrument’s exterior, which
includes all painted surfaces, either a solution
of soap and water or laboratory grade
detergent may be used.
Apply cleaner to clean wipe or cloth, not to the
instrument directly. Wipe surface clean.
Do Not
clean bath exterior with organic
chemicals such as Acetone, Toluene, Hexane,
etc.
For more difficult cleaning of finished surfaces,
a dilute solution or isopropanol in water may
be used.
It is not recommended that more aggressive
solvents be used on painted surfaces since
paint color will tarnish or be stripped from the
instrument.
Stainless Steel surfaces, such as on the top
plate, may be cleaned using a more
aggressive solvent such as a stainless steel
cleaner.
SHOCK AND BURN HAZARD:
Only clean
inside the bath when equipment is de-energized
and unplugged from the mains power supply.
Allow adequate time for heating coils to completely
cool before cleaning.
