4. 3. Cleaning
Clean as follows:
1. Clean rotor, buckets and accessories outside of the centrifugation chamber.
2. Separate rotor, buckets, lids, tubes and sealing rings to allow thorough cleaning.
3. Rinse rotor and all accessories with warm water and a neutral detergent that is suitable
for use with the materials. If in doubt contact the manufacturer of the cleaning agent.
4. Use a soft brush without metal bristles to remove stubborn residue.
5. Rinse rotor and all accessories with distilled water.
6. Place the rotors on a plastic grate with their cavities pointing down, to enable the
cavities to fully drain and dry.
7. Dry all of the rotors and accessories after cleaning with a cloth or in a warm air cabinet
at a maximum temperature of 50 °C. If drying boxes are used, the temperature must
never exceed 50 °C. Higher temperatures could damage the material and shorten the

Maintenance and Care
Before using any cleaning methods, users should check with the
manufacturer of the cleaning agents that the proposed method will not
damage the equipment.
Drive and door lock can be damaged by entering liquids. Do not allow
liquids, especially organic solvents, to get on the drive shaft, the drive
bearings or the centrifuge door locks. Organic solvents break down the
grease in the motor bearing. The drive shaft could lock up.
Cutting injuries.
Do not touch the condenser while cleaning the backside of the centrifuge.
Cutting damage can occur if you touch the condenser due to their
sharpness.
