Recommended cleaners for Plexiglas® and acrylic include:

  • Novus® #1
  • Plexi-Clear
  • Brillianize®

What Not To Do

  • Do not use cleaners containing ammonia, alcohol, acetone, or dry cleaning products. Cleaners with these chemicals will damage Plexiglas®, acrylic, and other plastics.
  • Do not use paper towels, abrasive materials, scratching cleansers, razor blades, brushes, steel wool, or scouring pads, such as Scotch Brite™ pads.
  • Do not use WD-40® or petroleum, industrial, or commercial cleaning products.

Removing Minor Scratches

  • Fine scratches can be removed with a specialized mild abrasive polish such as Novus #2, or Novus #3.
  • Heavier scratches may require sanding and buffing. Hand sand with a series of sandpapers with increasingly finer grits (250,400,600).
  • Then use a buffing wheel and buffing compound.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Might be Caused By Course of Action
The switch does not illuminate when in the ON position. The equipment is not plugged in. Plug in the equipment.
Well is not getting cold. Low or incorrect voltage to equipment. Verify the source voltage matches the rated voltage on the nameplate on the equipment. If it does not, have qualified electrical personnel install the proper source voltage
