5) Do not use powerful detergents or solvents to clean the outside of the instrument as this may cause
discoloration. If such chemicals are spilled on the instrument, immediately clean with a soft cloth.
6) Do not keep the instrument in an environment with high humidity. Damage from storage in these
conditions is classified as water damage and is not covered by warranty. Also, damage arising from
this type of exposure may be irreparable.
7) Disassembly and/or modification of the instrument voids the warranty and may be refused service.
8) Do not unplug the power adapter from the instrument while the instrument is in use. This may cause
the instrument to break.
9) If a burning smell is detected or the instrument seems to be excessively hot during operation,
immediately stop using the instrument and call your service representative.
10) Do not drop or impact the instrument. This is a direct cause of instrument damage and may void the
warranty.
11) Always verify that the Heating Block is in normal position before pulling out the Base Plate. If the
Base Plate is pulled out while the Heating Block is not in its normal, initialized position, the
interference in movement can cause Heating Block and other internal component damage and lead
to instrument malfunction. Since installed Buffer Cartridges obscure the view, re-initialize the
instrument or take out the Buffer Cartridges and visually inspect the position of the Heating Block
before pulling out the Base Plate.
12) The instrument automatically turns off the UV lamp and its operation when the instrument’s door is
open. However, just in case it does NOT turns off when the door is open, please make sure the UV
light does not directly expose to your eyes and skin.
13) When there is liquid in the Waste Tray in the equipment, take extra caution to push-in or pull-out the
base plate so the liquid does NOT overflow to the instrument inside. If the liquid overflows inside the
instrument, it may damage the instrument or cause the electrocution.
6. UV
Lamp
1) UV lamp operation may create Ozone molecules. For the safety issue, the instrument is pre-
programmed the UV lamp operation for 5 minutes only. Please do NOT extensively use UV lamp
operations.
2) The Ultraviolet (UV) ray can seriously damage your eyes and skin when exposed directly (even
through indirectly). When you deal with UV lamp, make sure you are wearing proper protective
equipment.
