4. Maintenance & Cleaning
•
The rotor and the centrifuge’s outside should be cleaned regularly with a mild, moist
[with water] cloth.
•
Always unplug the power adaptor before cleaning the unit.
•
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses while cleaning the unit.
•
The brushless centrifuge motor requires no routine maintenance. Only authorised
and qualified personnel can perform any required servicing. If repairs are performed
by unauthorised personnel, the product warranty may become void.
•
Always keep the centrifuge’s housing, rotor chamber and rotor clean. All parts should
be wiped down periodically with a soft cloth. For a more thorough cleaning, use
a neutral cleaning agent with a pH between 6 and 8. Excessive amounts of liquid
should be avoided. Liquids must not contact the motor.
•
Do not place the rotor into cleaning solution.
•
Regular cleaning of the rotor is important.
•
After cleaning, ensure that all the parts are dried before using the unit.
•
In the event of contamination caused by aggressive agents, the rotor must be
cleaned immediately with a natural cleaning liquid. Pay particular attention to the
bores of the tubes. If any damage is seen, contact the service technician.
•
Before using cleaning or decontamination methods, other than those mentioned by
the manufacturer, contact the manufacturer to endure that the intended method will
not damage the centrifuge.
