11 Cleaning and maintenance
11.1 Daily cleaning
11.1.1 Cabinet
As the cabinet of DF32 is not in direct contact with the dispensed product, daily cleaning will not be
necessary except for the normal routine cleaning of production equipment.
When cleaning, please note that the cabinet of DF32 is not provided with sealing, and is to be
considered as open. Therefore, liquids are NOT to be splashed onto DF32.
It may only be cleaned with a damp piece of paper towel or a cloth.
The cabinet is made of anodized aluminum and stainless steel, and normal detergents as spirit and
isopropanol may be used.
11.1.2 Pump head
As the pump head is intended for direct contact with the dispensed product it is made of materials,
which can be washed in hot water with detergents. The components can all be autoclaved for sterility.
NOTE! The pump head must be dismantled while autoclaved.
11.2 Sterilization
If DF32 is placed in an aseptic environment, the sterilisation may be made as described in section
11.1, or you may sterilise DF32 by gases observing the following precautions.
If you use gasses that might injure and corrode contacts and other metals, air slots and sockets
MUST be covered with tape.
11.3 Maintenance
As all movable parts in DF32 are maintenance-free, no maintenance is required apart from normal
cleaning of the equipment.
If service should be needed, please contact your supplier or Flexicon A/S.
11.4 Disposal of electrical components
Flexicon machines may not be disposed using normal refuse collection. The machines must be
collected and disposed separately as they contain electrical components such as batteries, electrolyte
capacitors, liquid crystal displays and printed circuit boards. Further information is available on our
web-site www.flexicon.dk.
