Draining bath fluid 

 
 
 
 
Before  removing  flammable  bath  liquids  take  the 
appropriate fire hazard precautions against these liquids. 
 
When draining the bath fluid, be sure that the  bath fluid 
has  cooled  down  to ambient temperature.  If  viscosity  is 
too  high  at  ambient  temperature  to  remove  the  fluid, 
make  sure  that  the  hose  to  drain  and    waste  container 
can withstand the temperature of the bath fluid. 
 
 
When  removing  bath  fluid  do  not  inhale  toxic  vapor. 
Always use appropriate ventilation. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

8.6 

Using the drain tap (optional) 

 
The TC baths can be drained via the drain tap located at 
the backside of the apparatus.  
 
The drain has an inner diameter of 3/8” gas fitting. The 
drain  can  be  connected  onto  a  pipe,  tube  or  drainage 
system. 
 
For safety reasons the tap can only be opened by using 
a screwdriver. The thread inside the tap is 3/8".  
 
 
 

8.7 

Maintenance 

Keep the apparatus free from dust. Regularly check the 
cooling openings and remove dust with vacuum cleaner. 
If  necessary  remove  cover  and  clean  internally.  Use 
appropriate  protection  when  cleaning,  dust  can  be  very 
unhealthy.
