Translation of the original operating manual
In order to completely remove the glass particles and metal dust from
the rotor chamber:
• Grease the upper third of the rotor chamber with e.g. Vaseline.
• Then, let the rotor rotate for a few minutes at a moderate speed
(approx. 2000 rpm). The glass and metal particles will now collect at the
greased part.
• Remove the grease with the glass and metal particles with a cloth.
• If necessary, repeat this procedure.

8.1.6
Condenser (only air-cooled centrifuges)
In order to cool the refrigerant that is compressed by the refrigeration unit,
a lamellar condenser is used. It is cooled by air.
Dust and dirt obstruct the cooling flow of air. The dust on condenser pipes
and lamellas reduces the heat exchange and thus the performance of the
refrigeration unit.
This is why the installation site should be as clean as possible.
• Check the condenser at least once a month for dirt and clean it if
necessary.
• If you have any queries, please contact service (see chapter 7.3 -
"

").

8.2
Sterilisation and disinfection of the rotor chamber and
accessories
• Use commercially-available disinfectants such as, for example,
Sagrotan , Buraton , or Terralin (available at chemist’s shops or
drugstores).
• The centrifuge and the accessories consist of various materials. A
possible incompatibility must be considered.
• Before using cleaning or decontamination agents that were not
recommended by us, contact the manufacturer to ensure that such a
procedure will not damage the centrifuge.
• For autoclaving, consider the continuous heat resistance of the
individual materials (see chapter 8.2.1 - "
Autoclaving
").
Please contact us if you have any queries (see chapter 7.3 - "
Service
contact
").
DANGER
If dangerous materials (e.g. infectious and pathogenic substances) are
used, the centrifuge and accessories must be disinfected.
