7 Maintenance
48 KjelFlex K-360 Operation Manual, Version C
7 .1 Daily maintenance
Regular cleaning is vital to ensure proper instrument functioning. Thus the deposits of caustic
substances within the instrument (e.g. causing degradation of glassware) can be avoided.
7 .1 .1 Cleaning the housing
Check the housing for defects (switches, plugs) and clean it with a damp cloth.
NOTICE
Risk of housing damage by solvents and acids.
Do not clean the housing with solvents. •
Wipe off any acid drops immediately. •
Open the service door and perform a visual check of all parts inside. Make sure that there is no leaking
at hoses and valves.
7 .1 .2 Cleaning the glass parts
To extend the lifetime of the glass parts, we recommend to perform a cleaning at the end of the day.
For this purpose in the main menu select “Cleaning” and press the Start button. The system will start a
distillation with 300 ml water for a period of 5 minutes.
