Cleaning

 

Proper maintenance of your AGO Film Processor is essential to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. Regular cleaning after each use will contribute to the consistent delivery of high-quality film development results.

 

Follow this guidance for cleaning:

1. Ensure that the casing of the machine is not opened during the cleaning process. The screws at the front of the device should be tightly secured to maintain casing integrity.

2. Ensure that the AGO processor is powered off and disconnected from the power source before starting the cleaning process.

3. Use a wet cloth: The AGO processor cannot be fully immersed or rinsed in water. Instead, use a wet cloth for cleaning. Avoid the use of cleaning agents.

4. Gentle Cleaning: Use only soft fabrics when cleaning the front side of the AGO processor. Avoid using abrasive materials or excessive force, especially around the shaft, temperature sensor, and front panel.

5. Dry Thoroughly

 

By adhering to these cleaning guidelines, you contribute to the overall care and maintenance of your AGO Film Processor.

 

NB! Avoid pouring water onto the back of the device where the pressure equalization membrane is located. If you see drops of water, wipe or blow it clean.
