– To clean the Thermoblock for slides DC, switch off the power supply and
unplug the device.
– Ascertain that the surface of the opened Thermoblock for slides DC and its
underside as well as the thermal base on the basic device have cooled down
completely to minimize the risk of burns.
– Unscrew the block from the basic device.
– Clean the exchangeable Thermoblock for slides DC immediately if sample
liquid finds its way into the bores. A mild soap solution or lab cleaner can be
used for cleaning. The device should be protected from organic solutions and
aggressive chemicals. For disinfection purposes, please use alcohol-based
infectants.
– The sealant material in the lid can be removed and cleaned or replaced.
If sample liquid finds its way into the two snap seals of the block, remove them
from the block and wash them separately in a soap solution or in an ultrasonic
bath or replace them.
The removal of the locking devices from the exchangeable Thermoblock for
slides DC is carried out by pressing both of the side catches beneath the block
together and simultaneously pressing them out of the block (see Figure 4). Be
aware of the direction when reinserting the locking systems into the block: the
directional marking on the right side must point forward while that on the left side
points to the rear.
