Cleaning The TEK-Mate's Housing
The TEK-Mate's plastic housing can be cleaned with standard household
detergent or isopropyl alcohol. Care should be taken to prevent the cleaner from
entering the instrument. Since gasoline and other solvents may damage the
plastic, protect your INFICON TEK-Mate from contact with these substances.
