2.2 Maintenance
The 4D-Nucleofector™ System requires minimal maintenance for reliable
operation. Unplug the power supply before cleaning and disinfecting the
case. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the outer case with water or 70–80%
ethanol. Do not use any aerosols for cleaning. Avoid wetting the cuvette
holder within the cuvette tray and the connectors located on the rear of
the system.
The 4D-Nucleofector™ System is designed for use under a sterile hood
either with or without a UV radiation source. Prolonged exposure of the
outer casing to UV light may lead to discoloration but not functional
impairment of the Nucleofector™ System. However, the system should
be removed from the hood during extended UV irradiation.
The 4D-Nucleofector™ System is protected by two main fuses. Both are
inside a receptacle incorporated in the power socket of the Core Unit
(see figure 2.0). Blown fuses can easily be replaced. Disconnect the
4D-Nucleofector™ System from the power supply and insert a small flat
screwdriver into the slot on top of the power plug housing to lever it open.
The fuse receptacles (each marked with an arrow) are then also levered
open using the screwdriver.

2 Operating Instructions
The 4D-Nucleofector™ System will not function unless both the left and right receptacle
contain intact fuses. Blown fuses can usually be identified by molten broken wires inside
the glass tube. Only use T2.5A, L fuses to replace blown fuses.
