How should I clean the Exhaust Pipe and Fan?
Warning!
- Disconnect the engraver from power before cleaning.
- Allow the cleaning fluid to dry completely before using the machine.
Cleaning Frequency: Weekly*
* The cleaning frequency will vary depending on the rate of dust accumulation on the exhaust fan and pipe. This is determined by the materials processed and the air quality of the working environment.
Tools Needed:
- Dust brush
- Vacuum
- Water
- Mild cleaner
- Soft cloth
- Caulk
Step 1: Check the intake filter for air assist at least once a week and clean as needed.
Step 2: Check the condition of the cooling fans for the water chiller and the bottom right access door. Use a small brush, vacuum, or compressed air to clear any visible dust.
Step 3: Check the main fan and surrounding ducts for excessive accumulation of dust and debris.
- Use a brush, vacuum, or compressed air to remove large accumulations of dust and debris
- Use mild cleansers and soft rags or paper towels to fully clean the fan and its blades.
Step 4: Check the seams and joints of the ducts for any damage or leaks. If any are found, immediately repair them with caulk or special-purpose aluminum foil tape. These options generally work best as standard duct tape can deteriorate over time, especially near heated components.
