MAINTENANCE
Maintaining your Mystic Mini is critical for consistent performance and
durability. After 100 hours of operation it is recommended to clean the heater
to avoid potential residue build up and overheat errors. Using the maintenance
kit included in your order, follow the directions below. It is important to
follow this procedure in well ventilated areas only.
TOOLS REQUIRED:
- Mystic Maintenance Fluid
- Syringe
- Tubing
- T15 Torx Driver
- Paper Towel
- Ziptie
STEP 1: REMOVE SIDE PANEL
While the Mystic Mini powered off (pic 1), disconnect the fluid container and
use a T15 driver to remove the fluid cage side panel of your Mystic Mini. (pic
2)
STEP 2: DISCONNECT FLUID HOSE
CAUTION: Make sure the machine has been off for more than 1 hour to avoid
high temperatures and potential injury. (pic 3) With the Mystic Mini
positioned on the opposite panel side, cut the zip tie and remove the fluid
hose from the heater. (pic 4)
STEP 3: PREPARE CLEANER
Connect a short hose to the syringe and fill the syringe to 30ml with Mystic
Maintenance Fluid. Connect the syringe to the heater (pic 5). Next, place a
paper towel in the output opening to collect any potential residue (pic 6).
STEP 4: CLEAN HEATER
IMPORANT: Only clean your heater in a well ventilated area! DO NOT clean
your Mystic Mini heater in confined spaces.
Begin by powering on your Mystic Mini. Once the heat up process is complete,
leave the machine idle. Slowly press the syringe until you’ve reach the 15ml
mark. Residue will begin to build to build up on the towel (pic 7). Once the
Mystic Mini has reheated, slowly press the syringe to push the remainder of
the cleaner through the heater.
NOTE: Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed until the output runs clear. In
picture 7 you will notice light residue building up on the paper towel, this
particular case would not require a repeat of steps 3 and 4.

step 2 Secure with a zip tie. Reinstall the fluid cage side panel and replace
