temperature before attempting to clean it. Once the unit has attained room temperature, wipe
down the unit as indicated previously. After every period of use, the mill is going to be wet with
condensation since the Freezer/Mill will pick up moisture as long as it is cold.
To maintain the exterior of the unit, first disconnect the Freezer/Mill. Then an occasional
spraying and wiping down with a mild window cleaner or similar product will be sufficient.
In the rare case that you may need to service the 6870 Freezer/Mill, please call SPEX
SamplePrep Customer Service for assistance.
Maintaining the Grinding Vial Sets and the Extractor is described in section 6.34, “Cleaning the
vial, on pages 17-18.
