7.3 Cleaning/disinfection
DANGER!
Electric shock as a result of penetration of liquid.
 Switch off the device and disconnect the power plug before starting cleaning or disinfection
work.
 Do not allow any liquids to penetrate the inside of the housing.

 Only plug the device back in if it is completely dry, both inside and outside.
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, immediately clean it by means
of a mild cleaning agent.
NOTICE!
Corrosion from aggressive cleaning agents and disinfectants.

Hint!
Autoclaving
Except for the rotor crosses A-4-81, S-4-72 and S-4-104, all rotors, rotor lids, buckets, carriers,
caps and adapters can be autoclaved (121 °C, 20 min).
After a maximum of 50 autoclaving cycles, the caps and, for QuickLock rotors, the seals must be
replaced.
Do not use any stained, porose or otherwise defective seals. Also note the operating manual of
the centrifuge and the supplement sheet on aerosol-tight centrifugation delivered together with
the aerosol-tight rotors.
The aerosol-tight rotor FA-45-30-11 can be autoclaved at 142°C for 2 hours to destroy prions. In
this case note that the rotor lid must be replaced after each autoclaving.
Hint!
Aerosol tightness
Check that the seals are intact before use.
Only QuickLock rotor lid: Replace the sealing ring in the lid groove when it becomes worn.
Replace the rotor lids with screw cap when the sealing rings on the lid screw and in the lid groove
become worn.
The sealing rings require regular care to protect the rotors.
Aerosol-tight rotors should never be stored with lids screwed on!
In order to prevent damage, lightly lubricate the lid thread of the aerosol-tight rotors with pivot
grease (order no. Int.: 5810 350.050/North America: 022634330).
