Maintenance
For reliable daily operation, keep the instrument free of dust and liquid
spills.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, because they are likely to damage
the paint finish.
It is recommended that you clean the case of the instrument
periodically to maintain its good appearance. A soft cloth dampened
with a warm, mild detergent solution will be sufficient.
Clean the outside surfaces of the instrument and the turntable with
clean low-pressure compressed air or a cloth dampened with water or a
mild detergent when necessary.
Although the KingFisher Duo is constructed from high-quality
materials, you must immediately wipe away spilled saline solutions,
solvents, acids or alkaline solutions from outer surfaces to prevent
damage.
Caution
Painted surfaces can be cleaned with most laboratory
detergents. Dilute the cleaning agent as recommended by the
manufacturer. Do not expose the surfaces to concentrated acids or
concentrated alcohols for prolonged periods of time as they may cause
damage.
▲
Clean the display areas with a mild laboratory detergent. The keypad
has a wipe-clean surface.
Plastic covers and surfaces can be cleaned with a mild laboratory
detergent or alcohol.
Warning If any surfaces are contaminated with biohazardous material,
a mild sterilizing solution should be used. ▲
Caution Do not autoclave any part of this instrument. ▲
Keep the turntable surface clean to prevent dust and dirt from entering
the instrument. Clean the turntable surface at least once a week using a
soft cloth or tissue paper soaked in a mild detergent solution (SDS),
soap solution or alcohol.
