Routine Cleaning and Inspection
The unit casework should be cleaned and inspected at regular intervals and
whenever contamination or spillage occurs.
Clean and inspect the ALPS30 unit using the following procedure:
1. Switch off the unit and disconnect the power before performing any inspec-
tion checks or cleaning, and ensure that the HEATER PLATE has cooled
down to room temperature before handling the unit.
2. Before cleaning, always inspect the unit casework, HEATER PLATE, and all
moving parts for any signs of wear, damage, cracks, or other defects.
3. Wearing suitable PPE, clean the casework using a damp cloth soaked with a
disinfectant solution (such as Virkon™).
4. Carefully clean the HEATER PLATE surface to remove any debris or sealing
material.
5. Remove any debris from around or between the moving parts of the handle
mechanism.
6. Check and clean the ADAPTER BLOCKS.
DANGER
After cleaning, ensure that the unit is thoroughly dry, especially around
the POWER INLET MODULE, before reconnecting the power cord and
switching on the unit.
