Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning
Spills must be cleaned up immediately. The centrifuge should be
regularly cleaned to maintain its appearance and to ensure that
dust or other damaging materials do not build up and affect the
performance of the unit.
•
Before cleaning the centrifuge disconnect it from the mains
power supply.
•
Clean the exterior surfaces using a proprietary furniture
polish with a clean soft cloth .
•
Wipe the bowl and rotor with a clean soft cloth dampened in a
solution of warm water and a mild detergent. (If moisture can
be wrung from the cloth, it is wet, not damp.)
•
Most sterilising agents at their standard cleaning dilution can
be used on the bowl.
•
Remove cleaning agent residue by wiping with a dry paper
towel.
•
Solvent-based cleaning agents and abrasive cleaning agents
should never be used on the Orbital 360.
Maintenance
The Orbital 360 is designed to provide extended and reliable
operation. To ensure proper operation and maximise the life of the
centrifuge the following requirements must be observed:
•
The centrifuge should be inspected by authorised service
personnel every six months as part of your routine
maintenance plan
•
Confirm that lid interlock prevents starting when lid is un-
locked and also prevents opening lid before rotor has stopped
•
Using an optical tachometer confirm that the speed remains
within specification
•
Use only genuine Clements spare parts
