5 Maintenance
W
ARNING
Allow the burner head to cool off before cleaning, disinfecting and servicing the
device. Switch off the device and disconnect it from the gas supply. Allow the
device to dry before operating it again.
5.1 Cleaning and servicing
FIREBOY eco body and burner head should be regularly cleaned in order to
maintain a high availability. Maintenance intervals depend on operating
conditions and degree of pollution.
Use a cloth moistened with soapy water or a 70% ethanol solution to clean
FIREBOY eco.
Longest life span of burner head is reached with a splash-free application in a
clean working environment (see also “4.4 Working with liquids” on page 17). If
the burner head gets soiled, it can be removed for cleaning purposes (see “3.4
Removing and adding the burner head” on page 15) and cleaned with
commercially available disinfecting or cleaning agents. It can also be replaced
with a new one, see “7.1 Accessories” on page 22.
C
AUTION
Ignition and flame monitoring electrodes (white ceramic posts) only tolerate low
mechanical forces!
In the event of an error, carefully clean the ignition electrode with a lint-free
cotton swab saturated with 70% ethanol solution. If any of the ceramic posts is
loose or broken, the burner head must be replaced.
For proper function, all three contact pins and their correspondent spring
contacts must be clean and free of corrosion. Same applies for the burner head
shaft (plug) and the burner chamber (socket), especially the spring-loaded ball
(lock pin) and the nozzle with orifice (pinhole).
5.2 Decontamination
If the housing of the FIREBOY eco have been in contact with biohazardous
material, it must be decontaminated in accordance to good laboratory practice.
Do not spray directly on the instrument but use a lint-free cloth, lightly soaked
with a disinfectant and wipe dry directly after decontamination. Never use
acetone or other solvents! Follow the instructions provided by the disinfectant
manufacturer.
