Wipe the bottom and sides of the chamber with a lint-free cloth to remove any debris or sludge. Do
not remove the chimney filters. Be careful not to dislodge the filters. Take care no material goes
into the air hole on the wax bath rim.
Check Bottle Connectors
The bottle connectors that plug into the instrument can become loose. Check the connector
whenever you pull out a bottle. Tighten firmly if necessary.
Clean Exterior Surfaces
Wipe down the exterior surfaces of the Peloris weekly with a damp cloth (water or 70% alcohol).
Do not use strong solvents. Dry with a lint-free cloth.
WARNING
Never open a wax bath lid when there is wax in a retort or wax is being transferred; hot wax
may splash out of the bath.
WARNING
Take care when cleaning the wax bath walls. The walls could be hot and may cause burns.
