Maintenance and Service
The maintenance service for the centrifuge must be regularly carried out once a year by the authorised
customer service.
For this purpose, KENDRO Laboratory Products offers inspection and service agreements. The inspection
costs consist of a lump sum payment. Necessary repairs are carried out free of charge in the framework of
the guarantee conditions. However, repairs outside the guarantee will be charged for.
In Germany, under the Industrial Accident Prevention Guidelines VBG 7z, annual inspection by a specialist
is stipulated.
The test book stipulated by VBG 7z, in which all maintenance work by the customer service is to be en-
tered, is delivered with the centrifuge. The test book must always be kept near the centrifuge (this only ap-
plies in Germany).
Maintenance work, carried out by you
To protect persons, the environment and materials, you are obliged to regularly clean the centrifuge and to
disinfect when necessary.
CAUTION – WARNING!
Incorrect cleaning agents or disinfection procedures damage the centrifuge and its accessories!
For cleaning, use only the cleaning and disinfection procedures stated in these operating instruc-
tions.
Cleaning
Disconnect from the power supply before cleaning!
Maintaining the centrifuge generally means keeping the housing, the rotor chamber, the rotor and the ac-
cessories clean. This should be done at regular intervals, or whenever necessary. This is for hygienic rea-
sons and also in order to prevent corrosion through adherent contamination.
CAUTION – WARNING!
Organic solvents corrode the lubrication of the motor bearing.
The primary shaft can get blocked.
During cleaning, no fluid, particularly no organic solvents, must come into contact with the primary shaft or
the ball bearing.
For cleaning, only use cleaning agents approved by KENDRO Osterode:
-
Caraform
-
deconex 16 NT
-
Extran MA 02 neutral
-
RBS neutral
For all other cleaning agents, please consult the service department!
Non-observance can lead to damage to the appliance or its components.
Immediately after cleaning, the aluminium parts must be dried off or dried in a warm air cabinet (maximum
temperature 50°C).
Rubbing the anodised aluminium parts regularly with corrosion protection oil (order no. 70009824) is re-
quired, thus extending the life cycle and minimising corrosion.
