7 Care and Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning and Care
The centrifuge, rotor, and accessories are subject to high mechanical stress.
Thorough maintenance care performed by the user extends the service life and
prevents premature failure.
)
Attention!
If corrosion or other damage occurs due to improper care, the
manufacturer cannot be held liable or subject to any warranty claims.
•
Use soap water or other water-soluble, mild cleaning agents (pH value
between 6 and 8).
•
Avoid corrosive and aggressive substances.
•
Do not use alkaline solutions or solvents.
•
Do not use agents with abrasive particles.
•
Do not expose the centrifuge and rotors to intensive UV radiation or thermal
stress (e.g. by heat generators).
7.1.1 Centrifuge
•
Disconnect the power cord from the socket before cleaning.
•
Carefully remove all liquids, including water and particularly all the solvents,
acids, and alkaline solutions from the centrifuge chamber using a cloth in
order to avoid damage to the motor bearings.
•
If the centrifuge has been contaminated with toxic, radioactive, or pathogenic
substances, clean the centrifuge chamber immediately with a suitable
decontamination agent (depending on the type of contamination).
Take
suitable precautions for your own safety if there is a risk of toxic,
radioactive, or pathogenic contamination.
•
Grease the motor shaft slightly after cleaning (grease for load-bearing bolts
part no. 70284).
•
Open the centrifuge when it is not in use so moisture can evaporate. This
prevents the increased wear of the motor bearings.
