Cleaning

Pull mains plug before cleaning the in-
strument!
Clean the casing, the rotor chamber, the rotor and the
accessories regularly and in case of need. This is indi-
cated both for reasons of hygiene and to prevent cor-
rosion due to contamination sticking to the instrument
and its accessories.
Clean them with mild agents of pH values ranging from
6 to 8.
Immediately after cleaning, dry the aluminum parts or
put them into a warm-air dryer at a temperature not
exceeding 50°C.
During cleaning liquids and espe-
cially organic solvents should not
come into contact with the drive
shaft and the ball bearing.
Organic solvents may decompose
the lubricant of the motor bearing
causing the drive shaft to lock.
