Directions For Use:

MAKE UP:             5% by volume for developing equipment
                                 5 - 10 % by volume for stripping equipment
                                 5 - 10 % by volume for ammoniacal etching equipment

TEMPERATURE:     130° ± 5°F

TIME:                       One (1) hour or until clean

OPERATION:          1. Fill machine sump with hot water
                                   2. Add cleaner concentrate. Note: be sure solution level is higher than normal sump level to assure cleaning sludge ring deposits that form at the top of the sump.
                                   3. Set heater(s) to 130°F
                                   4. Allow to run until all residues have been removed (approx. 30 minutes to 1 hour)
                                   5. Drain Sump and rinse thoroughly.
                                   6. For ammoniacal etchers only:
                                       1. Follow steps 1 - 5
                                       2. Refill sump with water.
                                       3. Add 5-7% muriatic acid (HCL)
                                       4. Operate pumps for 30 minutes.
                                       5. Drain and rinse thoroughly

SPECIAL NOTES: When equipment is cleaned on a regular basis, cleaning solutions can be used more than once. Solutions used to clean developers can be used to clean stripping equipment.
