Cleaning the LFGI- Heavy Duty (Rigorous)
Outside the LFGI
The outside of the LFGI can be cleaned at any time while the unit is closed and the
procedure does not require PPE additional to that normally used when operating the LFGI.
The stainless steel should be cleaned using a 70% alcohol solution or a solution specifically
designated for the cleaning of stainless steel. The acrylic front and side panels should be
cleaned with a soft cloth and a mild detergent, or a solution specifically designated for the
cleaning of acrylic surfaces.
It is important to never use abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the acrylic components.
Additionally, the acrylic should not be cleaned with any solution stronger than 50% ethyl or
70% isopropyl alcohol. Do not use glass cleaner with ammonia.
Work from top to bottom. Do not remove or spray the prefilter at the top of the unit.
When cleaning the Airlock HEPA filter housings do not directly spray, instead spray the
cleaning agent into the cleaning cloth and wipe the outside surface off.
Raise the stand at least 3 inches from bottom position to wipe down the caster cross
supports.
NEVER spray cleaner of any type directly at the control panel located above the airlock.
Always spray onto a clean wipe and then wipe the surface, switches and knobs.

the top HEPA filter protector from front to back moving left to right with
overlapping strokes.
2. Spray the wipe with cleaner and wipe the back HEPA filter protector from top to
bottom, moving left to right with overlapping strokes.
