Cleaning and Disinfection
If the unit has been in service, disconnect the power cord from both the unit and
the power source. Allow the unit to cool before proceeding with any
maintenance.
Before using any cleaning or decontamination method except those
recommended by the manufacturer, users should check with the manufacturer
that the proposed method would not damage equipment.
It is the responsibility of the user to immediately clean up after all accidental
spills of hazardous materials. Be certain to follow local EHS policies
(Environment, Health and Safety) with regards to personal protective equipment,
cleaning, and disposal.
Cleaning
The chamber interior may be cleaned with a general-use laboratory disinfectant, such as
quaternary ammonium, or alcohol.
The cabinet exterior may be cleaned with soap and water or any nonabrasive commercial
glass cleaner. The Thermopane glass door may be cleaned with commercial glass cleaner
or with a solution of ammonia and water.
Alcohol, even a 70% solution, is volatile and flammable. Use it only in a well
ventilated area that is free from open flame. If any component is cleaned with
alcohol, do not expose the component to open flame or other possible hazards.
Do not use strong alkaline or caustic agents. Stainless steel is corrosion
resistant, not corrosion proof. Do not use solutions of sodium hypochlorite
(bleach) as they may cause pitting and rust.
