8 Maintenance
8.1 Routine maintenance
No routine maintenance schedule is required for the Innova 40/40R Shaker
We recommend you occasionlly wipe down the shaker with a non-abrasive household cleaner.
We also suggest that the area around the shaker be vacuumed or swept to remove dust and other debris,
ensuring proper air flow in and around the shaker.
8.2 Cleaning external and internal surfaces
The unit may be cleaned using a damp cloth or any standard household or laboratory cleaner to wipe down
its outer surfaces. Do not use abrasive or corrosive compounds to clean this instrument, as they may
damage the unit.
8.3 Biohazard decontamination
It is the responsibility of the user to carry out appropriate decontamination procedures if hazardous
material is spilled on or inside the equipment. Before using any cleaning or decontamination method other
than those suggested by the manufacturer, users should check with Eppendorf that the proposed method
would not damage the equipment.
Commercially available household bleach solutions, when diluted at a 1:10 ratio, are effective in routine
decontamination of the instrument. The method for decontaminating a spill depends upon the nature of the
spill.
Spills involving fresh cultures or samples known to have low concentrations of biomass should be flooded
with decontamination solution and soaked for 5 minutes before cleanup. Spills involving samples with high
concentrations of biomass, or involving organic matter, or occurring in areas warmer than room ambient
temperature, should be exposed to decontamination solution for at least one hour before cleanup.
WARNING! Personnel injury and equipment damage!
 When cleaning the unit, always turn off the shaker and disconnect the power cord from the
power supply.
