## ❄ Winter Care – Critical!

> ⚠ **Warning:** Frozen water will destroy your CO₂ laser tube!

**Before winter:**

- Replace water in chiller with **laser-specific antifreeze**
- If not using antifreeze: keep water cooler running continuously
- Power outages during freezing temperatures = damaged laser tube

**After winter:**

- Replace antifreeze with deionized water (distilled/purified water)
- Flush the system 2–3 times with pure water before refilling
