Before starting cleaning works, switch off the device and disconnect it from the mains.
Ensure that no moisture enters the device.
The care of the ApoTome.2 is limited to the works described below:
• After every use, switch off the device and cover it with the protective cover (protection from dust and
moisture). If necessary, store the ApoTome.2 slider in the provided case.
• Do not install the device in a damp room; the maximum permissible humidity is 75 %.
• Remove dust and loose contamination from visible optical surfaces with a fine brush, rubber blower,
cotton bud, optics-cleaning tissue or a dust-free cotton cloth without exerting pressure.
• Wipe off water-soluble contamination (coffee, cola, etc.) after breathing by using a dust-free cotton
cloth or a moistened cloth. The water used may contain a dash of a mild detergent.
•
Wipe off stronger oily or fatty contamination (immersion oils, fingerprints) with a cotton bud, lens
cleaning paper or a dust-free cotton cloth using optics cleaning agent L.
This cleaning agent is made of 90 percent by volume gasoline and 10 percent by volume isopropanol
(IPA). Its individual constituents are also known under the following synonyms:
gasoline: surgical spirits, petroleum ether
