Rotor and rotor chamber must be treated with a neu-
tral, universal disinfectant. Best suited for this purpose
are disinfectant sprays, ensuring that all rotor and ac-
cessory surfaces are covered evenly.

Please use 70% ethanol for disinfection.
Please note the safety measures and
handling hints when applying these
substances!
For other disinfectants please consult KENDRO

dicularly off the drive shaft.

disinfect them or dispose of them as necessary.
5. Treat the rotor and the rotor lid according to the
instructions given for the disinfectant (soaking in
liquid or spraying). You must strictly observe the

tant. Thereafter thoroughly rinse rotor and lid with
water.

lations.
