Cleaning/disinfection

DANGER! Electric shock due to the ingress of liquid.
 Switch off the device and disconnect it from the mains/power line before starting cleaning or disinfection.
 Do not allow any liquids to penetrate the inside of the housing.
 Do not perform a spray clean/spray disinfection on the housing.
 Only reconnect the device to the mains/power line when it is completely dry, both inside and outside.
WARNING! Damage to health as a result of limited aerosol tightness and incorrect usage.
Mechanical stresses and contamination by chemicals or other aggressive solvents may impair the aerosol tightness of the rotor
and rotor lid. Autoclaving at excessive temperatures can lead to vessels, adapters and rotor lids becoming brittle and deformed.
 Check the integrity of the seal of the aerosol-tight rotor lid before each use.
 Only use aerosol-tight rotor lids with undamaged and clean seals.
 Do not exceed temperatures of 121°C or a time of more than 20 min. while autoclaving.
 Lightly grease the threads of the rotor lid screw with pivot grease after every proper autoclaving process (121 °C, 20 min.).
 Never store the aerosol-tight rotor or bucket closed.
NOTICE! Damage from the use of aggressive chemicals.
 Do not use any aggressive chemicals on the device or its accessories, such as strong and weak bases, strong acids, acetone,
formaldehyde, halogenated hydrocarbons or phenol.
 If the device has been contaminated by aggressive chemicals, clean it immediately using a mild cleaning agent.
NOTICE! Corrosion due to aggressive cleaning agents and disinfectants.
 Do not use any corrosive cleaning agents, aggressive solvents or abrasive polishes.
 Do not incubate the accessories in aggressive cleaning agents or disinfectants for longer periods.
NOTICE! Damage from UV and other high-energy radiation.
 Do not use UV, beta, gamma, or any other high-energy radiation for disinfection.
 Avoid storage in areas with strong UV radiation.
Autoclaving
Rotors, rotor lids and adapters can be autoclaved (121 °C, 20 min).
Replace the seal of the aerosol-tight rotor lid after 50 autoclaving cycles.
Aerosol tightness
Check that the seal is intact before use.
Replace the rotor lid with screw cap when the sealing ring on the lid screw and in the lid groove become worn.
Regular care of the sealing ring is necessary in order to protect the rotor.
Never store the aerosol-tight rotor with the lid screwed on!
In order to prevent damage, lightly grease the lid thread of the aerosol-tight rotor with pivot grease.
