Cleaning Procedure - Decagon Devices WP4C Operator's Manual

Cleaning Procedure:

Cleaning your WPC4 is a multi-step procedure which
involves washing, rinsing, and drying for each specific area
as outlined below:
1. Cleaning the Inside Chamber
Note: Be extremely careful not to damage the fan blades in the cham-
ber. The fan blades are very fragile; if one of them breaks, your
instrument won't work properly. Therefore, take extra care when
cleaning this portion.
a. Remove any debris that may have collected within or
around the sample chamber.
b. Wrap a NEW Kimwipe around the end of the thin
plastic rod (spatula) and moisten it with isopropyl
alcohol or Decagon Cleaning Solution. Note: Do
NOT dip a used Kimwipe into your container of IPA
or cleaning solution (the IPA or cleaning solution will
become contaminated).
c. WASH--Clean all surface edges of the samples cham-
ber including the edge where the sample cup seals to
the chamber block. You may need to replace the Kim-
wipe if it becomes too dirty during this process.
d. RINSE--Repeat steps b and c using new Kimwipes
with distilled water.
e. DRY--Repeat steps b and c using new, dry Kimwipes
to help remove any moisture remaining from the
cleaning.
