Clean Lids and Seals
Use the plastic scraper provided to scrape wax off the inside surfaces of the retort and wax bath
lids. Carefully remove wax from around the lid seals. Replace any seals that are damaged (see
Check Lid Seals).
Remove the retort lids to clean. To remove, open the lids fully then slide to the left.
Figure 62. Removing a retort lid
Scrape around the rims of the retorts and wax bath on the top of the instrument, where the lids sit.
Ensure that the lids seal fully when closed.
In the wax bath, make sure that the air vent on the back rim under the left lid is clear of wax. Do
not allow wax to fall into the vent.
