MAINTENANCE
Warning: Prior to any maintenance or service on this unit, disconnect the power cord from the power supply and
remove the beads from the tank. Before reattaching the unit to its power supply, be sure all volatile
and flammable cleaners are evaporated and dry.
Avertissement : Avant d'effectuer toute maintenance ou entretien de cet appareil, débrancher le cordon
secteur de la source d'alimentation. Avant de reconnecter l'appareil sur le secteur, s'assurer que tous
les produits de nettoyage volatiles et inflammables sont complètement évaporés.
Cleaning
The unit chamber should be cleaned and disinfected prior to use.
To clean the bead bath, perform the following steps:
1. Clean the Bead Bath ™ with mild soap and water solution. DO NOT USE chlorine-based bleaches, as
they will damage the tank interior. DO NOT USE spray cleaners that may contain solvents, which
could leak through openings and cracks and harm electrical part coatings. Failure to do this may
permanently damage the unit.
2. Clean Bead Bath with a damp cloth with cleaning solution. Wipe the bath bank clean. Do not pour
cleaning solution directly into the tank. Bead Bath was not designed to hold any liquid.
3. Separately wash beads clean of any spills with soap and water; completely dry beads before returning
to the bath. If necessary, disinfect beads with a 70% ethanol solution. Avoid using strong acids,
bases, including bleach solutions, and detergents, which can tarnish the beads.
Disinfecting
Disinfect the bath on a regular basis. To disinfect the incubator, perform the following steps.
1. Disinfect the bath, including all corners, using a suitable disinfectant. DO NOT USE spray
disinfectants that might leak through openings and cracks and get on electrical components, or that
may contain solvents, corrosives, or abrasives that will harm the stainless steel coatings. Special care
should be taken when cleaning around sensing heads to prevent damage and around the door gasket
so as not to impair the positive seal.
2. If a hazardous material/substance has been spilled in the unit, immediately initiate your site’s
Hazardous Material Spill Containment protocol. Contact your local Site Safety Officer and follow
instructions per the policy and procedures established for your site.
3. There are many commercially available disinfectants available that are non-corrosive and non-
abrasive and suitable for use on stainless steel surfaces. Contact your local Site Safety Officer for
detailed information for the proper disinfectants suitable for your operation.
Warning
: Never clean the unit with alcohol or flammable cleaners and assure all volatile or flammable cleaners
are evaporated and dry before reattaching the unit to the power supply.
Avertissement:
Ne jamais nettoyer l'appareil à l'alcool ou avec des nettoyants inflammables et veiller à ce que
les produits volatils ou inflammables soient entièrement évaporés avant de rebrancher le
