SPA Block and Base
Setting Up
To further clean the pad, apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on a cotton
swab and with a rolling motion, gently wipe off the pad. Make sure the pad is
free of any cotton filaments left over after cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not use petroleum- or freon-based products to clean the pad.
These substances will cause premature deterioration of the pad material.
Replacement Pad Kits
To minimize downtime, the Base was designed to allow you to replace pads
quickly and easily. Contact Customer Support to order replacement pad kits.

Follow these guidelines to prevent the accumulation of dirt:
� When the programmer is not in use, keep the SPA block covered with a
Base. When Bases are not in use, store them in an uncontaminated area to
keep them clean to prevent contamination of the SPA block.
� Whenever you remove or replace a Base, clean the SPA block with a brush.
� At least once a week, inspect the SPA block and Base for contamination of
dirt or oil. Clean them as described below.
