The following section describes basic cleaning and maintenance instructions for
the user. There are also troubleshooting and service procedures, and
instructions to install optional features. These must be performed by a qualified
service technician or engineer.
5.1 Maintenance
The Innova Shaker requires no routine mechanical maintenance on the part of the user.
The MAINT indicator light goes 10,000 operating hours after the unit was last
serviced. At that time, contact your local New Brunswick Service Engineer or call the
New Brunswick Service Department at 1-800-631-5417 (within the United States).
This periodic maintenance will keep your unit in premium condition.
5.2 Cleaning
As most water contains minerals that will deposit on the inside surfaces of the water
bath, the unit should be drained and flushed on a weekly basis. Mild household or
laboratory detergents can be used in the tank. To remove any caked buildups on the
stainless steel surfaces, a plastic scouring pad (such as Scotchbrite) may be used. This
can be used also to remove scratches from the stainless steel.
The outside painted surface can normally be cleaned with a damp cloth; if necessary,
standard household or laboratory cleaners may be used. Do not use other abrasive or
corrosive compounds to clean this instrument, as they may damage the unit and
void the warranty.

NOTE:
To minimize the development of rust inside the waterbath, do not use
steel wool or other abrasive pads to clean the stainless steel bath.
WARNING!
Before cleaning the instrument, and before a qualified Service
Engineer performs any maintenance or service procedures,
be sure to turn the power off (using the ON/OFF switch on the
side). Also disconnect the power cord.
