Care and Cleaning
The Hydrocollator Heating Unit is equipped with an immersion type heating element and a hydraulic
capillary type thermostat which evenly maintains the HotPac temperature in the water and provides a ready
supply of heated packs. It is critical to maintain the water level over the top of the HotPac to avoid damage
to the heating element, the stainless steel, or the HotPac. Water is constantly lost during operation due to
evaporation. Therefore, it is essential that water be added daily. The tank should also be drained, cleaned and
inspected systematically, at minimum intervals of every two weeks.
Always unplug the unit from the power source when emptying or cleaning the unit. Drain the unit by
the drain valve located at the bottom rear of the unit. Either move the unit to a floor drain or attach the
extension hose to it when draining. (E-1 units have no drain and can be emptied by turning unit upside
down).
The Hydrocollator Heating Unit is made of high quality stainless steel that, with proper care and
maintenance, could easily last a lifetime. Improper care could allow the stainless steel to wear prematurely.
Follow these simple steps to ensure that the Hydrocollator Heating Unit remains in excellent condition:
1. Excessive chlorine can be detrimental to the stainless steel in the Hydrocollator Heating Unit. No bleach
or any cleaner with high chlorine content should be used under any circumstance.
2. Clean regularly for optimal service and operation.
NOTE: Failure to maintain the unit (including regular cleaning) will void your warranty.
3. Fill daily with water. Water is constantly lost during operation due to evaporation.
4. Chlorine in regular tap water may be present in high enough concentrations to damage the unit. If
you suspect high levels of chlorine in the Hydrocollator Heating Unit, the addition of a dechlorinator is
recommended.
5. Certain additives (such as herbal teas, essential oils, etc.) will damage the HotPacs and components of
the heating unit, including the stainless steel. The Hydrocollator Heating Unit was designed to heat
water and HotPacs only. The addition of any such foreign substance (except dechlorinator) to the water
in the unit will void the warranty.
6. Inspect the heating element for pitting and other visible damage during regular cleaning intervals.
7. Inspect the power cord for wear, fraying, and other visible damage during regular cleaning

MAINTENANCE
15
To avoid potential for rusting:
1. Do not use bleach or cleaners with high chlorine content.
2. Do not use paper clips, safety pins, staples, coat hangers, etc., in, on, or near the unit.
3. Do not clean the unit with carbon steel wool or a carbon steel brush. Use only soft cloth, Scotch-Brite™
type scouring pads of green, blue, or white abrasiveness, or stainless steel wool if absolutely necessary.
4. Do not use abrasive cleaners which tend to disturb the grain in the finish, especially on the exterior of
the unit. For exterior cleaning, use only non-abrasive stainless steel polish.
5. Water level is critical: Add water daily, if necessary, to keep it full.
6. Regularly clean and drain the tank (every two weeks). Failure to properly maintain the unit will cause
premature wear and will void the warranty.
7. Remove all deposits from interior surfaces and parts. The deposits are concentrations of minerals that
will allow rusting to begin. If allowed to accumulate on the heating element, these deposits will lower
the efficiency of the element and increase the power consumption of the unit. However, exercise
extreme care if cleaning element or thermostat(s). These components can be easily damaged without
proper care or caution.
8. If you suspect that you have“hard water”, you may need to change the water and clean the unit more
frequently. Salt deposits are an indication of hard water that will eventually cause rust.
Cleaning Tips
1. The interior of the unit should be cleaned, at least every two weeks, using a low abrasive bathroom
cleaner with a soft cloth or green, blue, or white Scotch-Brite™ type scouring pad. Stainless steel wool
may be used if necessary, but not regular, carbon steel wool. Check for low or no chlorine content in
your cleaner and make sure that the residue is thoroughly rinsed away with water.
2. A strong solution of vinegar and water may be used to dissolve away deposits, which then must be
thoroughly rinsed away. Results may vary.
3. For exterior cleaning, use stainless steel polish and a soft cloth only. Numerous industrial stainless steel
polishes are available from various supply companies. Use of any cleaner except stainless steel polish
on the exterior of the unit is not recommended. Abrasive cleaners and scouring pads can damage the
finish of the unit.
Care of HotPacs
Always return the Hydrocollator HotPac to the hot water of the heating unit after each treatment. There it
is heated, kept clean, and ready for immediate use. The HotPac may be boiled; however, this hastens the
deterioration of the pack. The pack may also be cleaned by scrubbing the pack with soap and water. The
simplified method of keeping the pack clean is to keep it immersed in water.
The Hydrocollator HotPac, under constant daily use, should have a useful life of at least one year. When
the pack begins to wear out, the filler oozes and leaks through the fabric of the cloth and sections of the
pack appear to be loose and empty and will not retain heat properly. The pack should be replaced when it
reaches this state. Original replacement Hydrocollator HotPacs may be ordered from an authorized DJO, LLC
dealer.
NOTE: If HotPacs are to be stored for extended periods, they may be placed - while wet - in plastic bags
and stored in a freezer.
