10.2 Cold-weather storage

If the ATL-1500 is going to be stored where it would be subject to freezing, the following precautions should be taken:

  1. Drain the water bath by opening the drain valve.
  2. Close the valves on the water supply, remove and drain water inlet hoses.
  3. Remove and drain both drain hoses.
  4. Drain all rinse hoses.

10.4 Care of exterior of processor

All exterior surfaces of the ATL-1500 processor are made of plastic. Periodic cleaning is recommended with a damp cloth and mild detergent solution (that does not contain chlorine). Do not use caustic, abrasive, or solvent cleaners.

10.5 Algae control

Do not add bleach or chlorine-based chemicals to the recirculating water bath to prevent algae build-up. Chlorine will cause the recirculating pump and heating element to deteriorate and eventually fail. The best method for preventing algae build-up is frequent changing of the water-bath water or by using Processor Clean II (Item #4135).
