General Maintenance

Cleaning

Before cleaning disconnect from the mains charger. Do not clean the
mains charger.
The Powerpette Plus can be cleaned with most common laboratory
disinfectants. The polypropylene nosecone (10) and silicone pipette
holder (9) can be autoclaved.
To remove the nosecone (10) and silicone pipette holder (9) turn the
nosecone (10) anti-clockwise. When the nosecone is removed the
silicone pipette (9) holder can also be disengaged from the filter (8) by
gently turning.

Replacing the Filter

The hydrophobic filter (8) will require occasional replacement,
particularly when wetted by the liquid and whenever the suction
capacity is slowing.
Note
Only use genuine manufacturer's recommended filters and accessories.
