Maintaining and replacing the UV lamp
Keep the following information in mind so that the lifetime of the UV
lamp is not shortened unnecessarily:
■
Clean the UV lamp as needed using a clean towel wetted with pure
alcohol. This lets you remove particles from the quartz glass that have
not yet been burned in.
Do not touch any part of the UV lamp other than the two flattened
ends during cleaning and wear the provided cotton glove when remov-
ing or installing the lamp.
■
Avoid switching the UV lamp on and off unnecessarily. Each time the
lamp is switched on shortens its lifetime.
