ROS 1
General cleaning procedures that should be performed after each test are listed below:
• Blow out the sample chamber with compressed air between tests.
• Remove spills prior to starting a test.
Spills left in the sample chamber during a test can burn and become difficult to remove
after the test is complete.
• If a spill occurs near the scale pan, remove the scale pan and soak up any liquids or debris
in the reservoir under the scale pan
WARNING: Keep liquid and debris out of the highlighted area in
. Failure to keep this area free of
liquid and debris may result in degraded performance and/or costly repairs.

• Use a moist towel, sponge, or KIMWIPE tissue and a gentle liquid detergent or isopropyl
alcohol to remove most (nonburnt) debris.
• To remove burnt or dried substances, try gently scrubbing using a very fine (scratch free)
cleanser (METER has successfully tested Bon Ami cleaner).
• Rinse the surfaces using a moist towel, sponge, or KIMWIPE.
WARNING: Do not use anything abrasive! Scouring pads, sandpaper, and coarse cleansers wear down the
surface of the sample chamber. Kitchen degreasers containing methylene chloride will strip the surfaces of
the chamber.
