6 Handling and maintenance
6.1 General
The 860 KF Thermoprep requires appropriate care. Excess contamination
of the instrument may result in functional disruptions and a reduction in
the service life of the sturdy mechanics and electronics of the instrument.
Severe contamination can also have an influence on the measured results.
Regular cleaning of exposed parts can prevent this to a large extent.
Spilled chemicals and solvents must be removed immediately. In particular,
the mains plug should be protected from contamination.
6.2 Care
￭ Replace exhausted molecular sieves promptly. You should replace the
molecular sieve as soon as increased drift values appear in the Karl
Fischer cell.
￭ Check all tubing connections regularly for leaks.
￭ Flush out the tubing connections from time to time. Carefully dry the
tubing afterward. The tubing must be replaced after prolonged usage.
￭ Replace the dust filter once a year.
￭ Clean the sample insert regularly.
Warning
Clean the oven only when it is switched off and cold.
