Precautions for Prevention of Failures
• When cleaning the instrument, do not use any organic solvents
(xylene).
If any organic solvents flow into the paraffin line between the paraffin
chamber and the dispenser, the internal parts may degrade or
deform, resulting in failure. Also, the coatings and materials on/of the
exterior panels, control panel display, etc., may deteriorate.
• Do not turn the paraffin flow rate adjustment dial unless the paraffin
is in molten state.
If the dial is forcibly turned when the paraffin is solid, failure may
result.
• Do not close the paraffin flow rate adjustment dial after work.
If the paraffin cools down and solidifies when the flow rate
adjustment dial is fully closed, the paraffin may expand the next time
it is melted, and leak out from the flow rate adjustment dial.
• Do not put anything on top of the instrument.
Failure or unexpected problems may occur.
• Do not put hot paraffin whose temperature exceeds 80°C in the
instrument.
Do not put paraffin, etc., whose temperature exceeds 80°C in the
paraffin chamber or warming chamber. It may lead to instrument
failure.
• Do not block the intake port.
Cold spot failure may occur.
