any of these substances, it will also be obliged to carry out
the following cleaning procedure: clean the centrifuge of
all incrusted material and decontaminate it according to
section 4.2 of this manual.
ANOMALIES:
- The centrifuge does not start up and indicates that
the cover is open:
Check that it is properly closed. If it is not, unlock it
using the emergency opening system, and verify
that the cover opens and closes correctly.
- The unit is connected to the grid, the master switch
is connected and the mains connection indicator
does not light up: (2):
Replace the fuses according to section 4.3.
INSPECTION AND CLEANING
It is important to carry out a general monthly inspection
of all the labels of the centrifuge and, if necessary, clean
them so they are legible.
Before using any cleaning or decontamination agent
other than those recommended in the manual, check
with BTI that the methods proposed are not going to da-
mage the unit.
EXTERIOR OF THE CENTRIFUGE
Clean the centrifuge with a damp cloth in a non-alkaline
detergent. Rub gently until clean, rinse the cloth with ca-
ter and then wipe again. Dry with an absorbent cloth. Do
not use abrasive products.
CENTRIFUGATION CHAMBER
The centrifugation chamber is manufactured in steel with
a surface treatment, which can be cleaned easily. This
includes the external cover, so the cleaning and decon-
tamination process must contemplate this component.
Always keep it clean and dry. To do so, remove the tube
holder and wash the chamber with a cloth soaked in neu-
tral soap product, and disinfect as below.
ROTOR AND TUBE HOLDER
The rotor and the tube holder are made of aluminium
alloy and hydrochloric products are harmful, and may da-
mage them. If it is necessary to disinfect them, ensure you
rinse them well with water to remove any residue of these
types of products. The rotor can be cleaned using a soft
cloth soaked in a soapy product to remove all the encrus-
ted substances. Rinse and dry with a soft, absorbent cloth

DANGER: Inspecting the rotor is important to be
able to neutralise any possible failures of the unit.
Remember that the worst accidents anticipated
would be caused by this breaking.
BIOSEALS
It is advisable to replace the bioseals (tube holder gas-
kets) at least once every 3 years, to guarantee the integri-
ty of the microbial barrier. Inspect them and replace them
then. In the event of frequent use or malfunction, carry
out this verification more frequently.
Contact your BTI distributor to guarantee a correct repla-
cement and installation of the accessory replaced.
Disinfection:
• If disinfection is required, make sure first to clean
properly and rinse it well with water to eliminate
any type of dirt and then proceed to disinfect the
unit by using a 70% Ethanol solution.
• Rub gently all the affected surfaces with a 70%
Ethanol solution dampened cloth.
• Do not dry the unit with a cloth, wait until the
ethanol solution evaporates by itself.
CHANGING FUSES
The fuses are in the base of centrifuge connector. To re-
place them, first remove the mains cable and use a screw-
driver to lever the fuse box cover. Extract and change the
deteriorated fuses for new ones of the same amperage,
which will be indicated on the characteristics label of the
centrifuge or in section 2.3 of this manual.
DANGER: Before proceeding with this maintenance
process it is essential to disconnect the mains cable
from the power supply.
CHANGING THE ROTOR
The rotor may only be replaced by BTI staff or personnel
authorised by BTI. Rotor models other than the one inclu-
ded in the machine may not be used. BTI does not supply
this component to users.
DANGER: The rotor cannot be replaced with any
other that is not this model. Any work on this com-
ponent may only be carried out by BTI staff or per-
sonnel authorised by BTI.
