Weekly Care
CAUTION!
When removing the Rinsing / Drying roller-rack, ensure that no water gets
into the film dryer air channel.
The developer chemicals cause residue build up in the machine. This residue has a negative effect on
the developing process of the film material. For this reason the processor has to be regularly cleaned of
this residues.
Do a weekly clean of the roller racks, which only takes a few minutes.
1
Switch machine off and remove cover.
2
Loosen the securing latches (red, blue and beige) of the drive shafts of each roller rack at the
right side.
3
Rinse all racks thoroughly under warm running water and then leave to drain off. Use a soft
sponge (do not use scouring-pad, as this would scratch the rollers!) and remove the pollution
from the rollers. During this procedure, the rollers can be turned by turning the drive shaft.
4
Wipe the feed-roller-pair (first roller-pair of developer rack) dry
5
Replace the racks: Red = Developer, Blue = Fixer. Beige = Washing/Drying. Ensure that the racks
are firmly installed and do not forget to close the securing latches on the drive shafts.
6
Replace machine cover and ensure it is securely closed.
7
Clean processor outer shell with damp cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaners or solvents.
6.2.4
Thorough Cleaning
Every 3 – 6 months a thorough cleaning is necessary, depending on the quantity of films processed.
Tank cleaners are available for developer and water baths. The fixer bath is cleaned with water. When
preparing chemical tank cleaners, follow manufacturer instructions explicitly.
How to proceed:
•
Switch the machine off and empty all tanks by opening the stop cocks. Attention: Machine will
not drain off, if it is switched on
•
Remove machine cover. When all tanks are emptied, close stop cocks again. Now fill the fixer-
tank with water. Prepare cleaner solutions for developer and water baths and fill into respective
tanks
•
Remove suction pipes from the replenishment containers and place them in a water filled
bucket. Attention: Do not add chemical cleaners here!
•
Close machine cover and switch machine on
•
Start film transportation and keep running for 10 to 20 minutes. During this the installed roller
racks will be cleaned see 5.2.13.2.
NOTE
After completion of tank cleaning, the tank should be rinsed thoroughly with clean
water. To do this, fill the machine with fresh water twice and each time, let the
machine run for a 10 minute period. Empty the tanks and reclose the stop cocks.
•
Take out the roller-racks and rinse them thoroughly with running water. Remove remaining dirt
from the rollers by using a sponge and clean thoroughly. Doing this, the rollers can be turned
by turning the drive shaft. Wipe the feed-roller-pair (first roller pair of developer rack) dry.
Replace the racks.
•
Refill the tanks with respective chemicals. This can be done by hand or automatically (see
5.2.12). Replace the suction pipes into the replenisher containers. The circulation system may
have to be ventilated (see 3.6.1 / 2)
•
For quality check, process test films.
