• Use soap water or other water-soluble, mild cleaning agents for
cleaning the RVC and the accessories.
• Do not use any corrosive or aggressive substances.
• Do not use solvents.
• Do not use agents with abrasive particles.
• Do not expose the RVC or its accessories to intensive UV radiation (e.g.
sunlight) or thermal stress (e.g. by heat generators).

Rotational vacuum concentrator
• Switch off the rotational vacuum concentrator via the mains power
switch and disconnect the power cord before cleaning.
• Carefully remove all product residues from the rotor chamber using a
cloth.
• If the rotational vacuum concentrator has been contaminated with toxic,
radioactive, or pathogenic substances, clean the rotor chamber
immediately with a suitable decontamination agent (depending on the
type of contamination).
WARNING
Take suitable precautions for your own safety if there is a risk of toxic,
radioactive, or pathogenic contamination.
• Check the safety guard of the fan (at the front of the bottom side) at
least once a year for dirt and clean it if necessary (e.g. with a vacuum
cleaner).
• Open the rotational vacuum concentrator when it is not in use so that
moisture can evaporate.
