Maintenance
Lighting
The unit is equipped with fluorescent lights, which are aached to the front access panel. These bulbs can
be changed by removing the light housing and twisting the bulb. If it is necessary to change the ballast, it is
located in the motor housing below the removable perforated screen. Both the fluorescent tubes and ballast
should be available from a local lighting supply or hardware store.
Cleaning and Decontamination
The acrylic surfaces of the CSE series can be periodically cleaned with a so dry cloth to remove dust or
particulate accumulation. If desired, a solution of 50% IPA, or 5% bleach, or commercially available detergent
may be used to decontaminate the acrylic surfaces. The following cleaners are INCOMPATIBLE with the acrylic
surfaces – acetone and abrasive cleaners. For aesthetic purposes, an anti-static cleaner may be applied to the
acrylic to prevent accumulation of particulates on the exterior. UV radiation will adversely affect the acrylic
surfaces and should not be used as a germicide in the CSE series. Additionally, the unit should be placed in a
location that is not exposed to direct sun light.
The stainless steel is impervious to most chemicals, and can be cleaned with any solvent or stainless steel
cleaner. However, if your floor is routinely cleaned with strong solutions of sodium hypochlorite, care should be
taken to avoid repeated exposure of the stainless steel legs on the stand.
Additionally, care should be taken when cleaning around the optional HEPA filter to not spray any liquid directly
on the filter. If the filter is accidentally weed, it does not necessarily mean the filter is damaged. However, the
unit should be turned off until the filter is dry. If the amount of liquid is excessive, a recertification might be
warranted.
