9. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
9.1 Daily cleaning
As MC12 is not in contact with the dispensed product, daily cleaning will not be necessary
except for the normal routine cleaning of production equipment.
When cleaning, please note that the cabinet of MC12 is provided with open slots for the cooling
of the built-in parts. Therefore, liquids must NOT be splashed onto MC12. It may only be cleaned
with a damp piece of paper or cloth.
The cabinet is made of anodised aluminium and plastics.
Normal cleaning agents such as tepid/medium hot water, and ethyl alcohol (ethanol) 70%, may
be used all over the machine.
**Recommendation:
Keep a log on the cleaning in order to keep a sense of perspective.
9.2 Sterilisation
If MC12 shall be placed in aseptic environments, the sterilisation may be made as described
above, or you may sterilise MC12 by gasses observing the following precautions.
If you use gasses that might injure and corrode contacts and other metals, air slots and sockets
MUST be covered with tape.
9.3 Maintenance
As there are no movable parts in MC12, no other maintenance is required than normal cleaning
of the equipment.
Should any further service be needed, please contact Watson-Marlow Flexicon A/S or your
supplier.
