Routine Maintenance & Troubleshooting 

 

WARNING: Hazardous voltages may be present.  Disconnect power before performing 
maintenance. 

Draining the Reservoir 

To drain fluid from the bath, attach a short length of suitable 11.5 mm ID / 0.45 inch ID tubing to the 
drain port and secure it using a hose clamp with a minimum ID of 18 mm / 0.7 inch. Open the drain 
valve using a flat blade screwdriver. When closing the valve, do not over tighten.  

 

WARNING: Be sure to close the drain valve before refilling the bath reservoir. Do not over 
tighten. 

 

Cleaning the Bath 

Thoroughly clean the bath before each use. Use only mild soap and water when cleaning. Do not use 
steel wool as damage to the unit may result. Non-steel scouring pads are acceptable. 

The entire unit is housed in a tough, well-insulated stainless steel casing that is corrosion and 
chemical resistant.  

Air Vents 

The unit draws air through the rear and exhausts it through the side vents. The vents should be 
inspected regularly for the accumulation of dust and cleaned as required.  

Air Filter 

To keep the refrigeration system operating at optimum cooling capacity, the reusable filter located 
at the rear of the unit should be kept free of dust and dirt. It should be checked on a scheduled basis 
and cleaned as required.  

To access the air filter, remove the three screws securing the grille cover to the unit’s housing, 
detach the grille, and then gently remove the air filter from the filter compartment. Use a mild 
detergent and water solution to wash off any accumulated dust and dirt and then rinse and dry 
thoroughly before reinstalling.
