Cleaning and maintenance
To achieve an optimum lifespan, cleaning and maintenance should be conducted regularly.
Following are instructions for manual cleaning and care.
CAUTION!
Disconnect the laboratory cooler from the mains before each cleaning / maintenance.
Do not rinse or immerse the laboratory cooler in water and do not expose it to splash water.
4.1
Cleaning and care
Liquid circuit
The contact liquid circuit runs, during operation, from the tank's outlet through the pump,
to the cooling unit, and from there back to the tank. For reasons of hygiene, this circuit
must be regularly
fl
ushed.
Fill the oscillating tank with liquid .
Switch on the laboratory cooler. The internal pump starts operating and
fl
ushes
the cooling unit.
Allow the pump to run for at least 5 min.
Switch
o
ff
and empty the laboratory cooler by opening the 3-way ball valve.
Repeat the described rinsing process at least twice.
After the last emptying, wipe dry the oscillating tank using a soft cloth.
Housing
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, only use commercially-available care products without
scouring agents.
• Wipe the housing only from the outside with a moist cloth; if needed, use a suitable
surface disinfectant, then allow to dry or rub dry.
4.2 Disinfection
If the laboratory cooler is disinfected improperly or irregularly, microbiological contamination
is possible due to the colonisation of microorganisms, especially in the tubes, which can
result in cross-contamination. Therefore, the liquid circuit and the device surface must be
disinfected and cleaned regularly.
4.3
Warehousing / storage
During long periods of non-use, the laboratory cooler should be disconnected from
the mains and stored in a cool, dry location.
During storage and transportation, make sure that frost does not form due to the residual
liquid left in the cooling unit!
