Cleaning the installation
The installation has to be cleaned regularly. Preferably, each time after the installation has been
used. Diluted disinfectants may be used. In most cases, hot water with a cleaning agent will be

Chlorine containing cleaning agent is not recommended, because even small concentrations
chlorine may result in an oxidizing effect on the material of the installation.

regularly. A 1% solution of
Natriumdodecylsulfat * (SDS-solution CAS-no. 151-21-3) in demineralised water could be applied
for cleaning.
Remove the waste and place it in an appropriate container.
