Maintenance and Storage
1. Clean all glass components by wiping gently with gauze. To remove fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe
with gauze slightly moistened with a mixture of ether (70%) and alcohol (30%).
Since solvents such as ether and alcohol are highly flammable, they must be handled carefully.
Be sure to keep these chemicals away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks-for
example, electrical equipment that is being switched on or off. Also remember to always use these
chemicals only in a well-ventilated room.
2. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the non-optical component of the equipment. To clean
these, use a lint-free, soft cloth lightly moistened with a diluted neutral detergent.
3. Do not disassemble any part of the power supply unit as malfunction or damage may occur.
4. In order not to impair the safety of the equipment, replace the burner when the counter of NFP-1
indicates “100.00” hours. To prevent any hazard, always turn the main switch on the power supply
unit to “O” (OFF), unplug the power cord plug from the mains outlet, and wait for at least 10 minutes
before replacing the burner. High-pressure gas is sealed within the mercury burner. Thus, if it is
continued to be used after its service life expectancy, the glass tube may deform and may sometimes
rupture.
