Routine Maintenance Schedule

Daily or Weekly

Wipe down the interior surfaces of the enclosure with a disinfectant or

neutralizing cleaner, depending upon the usage of the unit and allow to dry.

Using a damp cloth, clean the exterior surfaces of the enclosure,

particularly the front and top to remove any accumulated dust.

Operate the exhaust system, noting the airflow velocity through the

enclosure using a source of visible smoke. Airflow monitors are
recommended for constant monitoring.

Monthly (or more often as required)

Determine the actual face velocity through the sash openings of the

enclosure where the average reading should be at the specified velocity.
(Use calibrated thermal anemometer or other approved apparatus). Airflow
alarms are recommended for constant monitoring.
