Cleaning the Air Intake Grille   

If dust and dirt are trapped in the air intake grille (for air-cooling the condenser) on the lower left side of the 
instrument, they may cause the cooling performance to decline. Remove dust and dirt from the air intake 
grille with a vacuum cleaner or something.   
 
 

Replacement of the Brine Solution (auxiliary cooling fluid)   

The brine solution must be replaced on a regular basis. If the brine solution continues being used even after 
its replacement time, it will deteriorate and cause instrument malfunction. When the preset replacement 
time comes close, the instrument displays the replacement notice automatically.    Contact the nearest 
authorized Sakura distributor or representative for replacement of the brine solution, when needed.
