Maintenance / Service

Withdraw the mains cable before beginning any maintenance or service work!
10.1

Service

ECOTRON ® is designed as a service-free shaker and does not need any regular services. The
shaker table works with closed bearings, the electronic system needs no maintenance.
After approx. 10.000 hours of operation however, we would recommend an overhauling of the
shaker by the specialists of INFORS. You are invited to contact your INFORS representative when
your shaker reaches this operation time.
10.2 Cleaning the equipment
You can clean the equipment with a damp cloth and a normal neutral cleaner without any
difficulties. We recommend to take off the shaker platform only if liquids were spilled on the bottom
of the equipment e.g. from a broken flask. In this case, remove the platform and clean the base
accordingly.
Please observe the instructions in chapter "4.2 Chemical Resistance".
10.3 Cleaning of the Tray and Shaker Table
The tray and the table can be cleaned in the same way as the rest of the equipment. For cleaning
of the optional tray with adhesive matting, observe the point in Chapter 13.2.
Cleaning of the spill tray can be achieved using water (max. 2 L) and a mild detergent. In the event
of a flask breakage, all organic material in the equipment can be removed from the spill tray by
rinsing thoroughly with hot water. The washing water can be removed via the drain port on the front
underside of the housing:
-
Take out the cap on the front of the housing under the door.
-
Take out the pipe from the support on the incubation chamber wall and stick it into the drain
point of the spill tray.
-
Place a suitable flask under the outlet. (min volume 3 L)
-
Pull the red stopper from the drain point (see arrow in figure) and the spill tray empties out.
-
Replace the stopper in the spill tray.
-
Pull out the drain pipe and replace it in its holder
-
Replace the cap over the drain point.
