8.1. Care, Cleaning and Disinfection
General Remarks
Disconnect the mains plug
before cleaning the unit!
Always observe the product
descriptions and instruction manuals for any
agents and equipment which are used in
caring for, cleaning, and disinfecting the unit
or its accessories.
Do not use agents which are aggressive,
contain chlorine, are abrasive, or may attack
the finish of the unit.
Cleaning Painted Surfaces and the Housing
Take care that no cleaning agents get inside
the unit.
In general, we recommend the use of a
cleaning agent with antistatic action for
plastic surfaces (to reduce subsequent static
attraction of dust particles).
Otherwise, clean the outer surfaces of the
unit by wiping them with a damp cloth.
If there are residues, you can wipe them off
with a mixture of equal parts of alcohol and
distilled water. You can also add a few drops
of a standard commercial dishwashing liquid
to this fluid.
Cleaning the Glass of the Viewing Aperture
Soiling caused by dust or fingerprints may
affect the examination. You can clean the
glass of the viewing aperture with a soft
cloth or an optical brush, using alcohol or a
lens cleaner if necessary.
Cleaning and disinfecting the lining of the Viewing Aperture
You can clean the lining of the viewing
aperture with mild soapsuds.
We recommend alcohol or spirits for
disinfecting it.
The lining of the viewing aperture should be
replaced in case of intense soiling (cf.
Chapter 8.3).
