5. Service and Maintenance
5.1 Centrifuge service
The Spectrafuge 6C requires no routine maintenance other than the
occasional routine cleaning. All repairs should be performed by authorized,
qualified personnel only. Repairs performed by unauthorized personnel
may void the warranty.
5.2 Cleaning the centrifuge
Always keep the centrifuge housing, rotor chamber, rotor and rotor accessories
clean. All parts should be wiped down periodically with a soft cloth. For more
thorough cleaning, use a neutral cleaning agent (pH between 6 and 8) applied
with a soft cloth.
Excessive amounts of liquid should be avoided. Liquid should not come into
contact with the motor. After cleaning, ensure that all parts are dried thoroughly
by hand or in a warm air cabinet (maximum temperature 50ºC)
5.3 Cleaning the rotor
The rotor should be cleaned after each use. When spinning samples
containing phenol or phenol chloroform, the rotor should be cleaned
immediately after use.
5.4 Disinfection
Should a spill of infectious materials occur within the rotor or chamber, the
unit should be disinfected. This should be performed by qualified personnel
with proper protective equipment.
5.5 Replacing fuses
Check the fuse when it is recommended in the Troubleshooting Guide
located in this manual. The fuse holder is located in the power inlet on the
rear of the unit. Disconnect the power cord from the power inlet. Open the
fuse holder drawer by inserting a small screwdriver under the tab and prying
it open. Remove the innermost (operative) fuse from its retaining tabs and
replace the fuse if necessary. A spare fuse is located in the outermost
chamber of the fuse drawer. Replace only with a fuse of exactly the same
value as the original. (Fuse type may be found in the Technical data section
of this manual.)
