Decontamination / chemical disinfection

The operator must ensure that proper decontamination is performed in case a contamination of the
chamber by hazardous substances has occurred.
Disconnect the chamber from the power supply prior to chemical decontamination. Disconnect the power
plug.
Do not use decontamination agents that may cause a hazard due to reaction with components of the
device or the charging material. If there is doubt regarding the suitability of cleaning products, please
contact BINDER service.
You can use the following disinfectants:
Inner chamber Standard commercial surface disinfectants free from acid or halides.

With every decontamination / disinfection method, always use adequate personal safety con-
trols.
In case of contamination of the interior by biologically or chemically hazardous material, proceed as fol-
lows:
Remove the vacuum expansion racks and removable rack holders and spray the inner chamber with an
appropriate disinfectant.
If desired you can sterilize the vacuum expansion racks and removable rack holders in a sterilizer or au-
toclave. Before start-up, the chamber must be absolutely dry and ventilated, as explosive gases may form
