Cleaning Best Practices
WARNING! Hot Surface Hazard. Let the ion source cool for at least 30 minutes
before starting any maintenance procedures. Surfaces of the ion source and
the vacuum interface components become hot during operation.

Determine whether decontamination is required prior to cleaning or

waste. Follow local regulations when disposing of components.
• Allow the ion source to cool before removing it.
