Section 6 | Maintenance

Overview

Dako recommends that instrument operators perform periodic inspections and preventative maintenance

on Hybridizer. Contact Dako’s Customer Service if the Hybridizer is not functioning properly.

CAUTION - Unplug Hybridizer from the wall outlet before performing maintenance.

WARNING - Do not expose Hybridizer to strong or concentrated acids, bases, esters,

aromatic or halogenated hydrocarbons, ketones or strong oxidizing agents.

Cleaning

The Hybridizer is supplied with a removable slide-locating bar. To remove, pull locator back releasing the

top from its holder (the locator is spring loaded to hold it in position). Lift slide-locator up and remove from

spring holder at bottom. Set on bench top. Clean the outside surfaces and switch overlay panel with a

water-dampened cloth and mild detergent. Remove Humidity Control Strips before start of inner

instrument cleaning. Clean the inner surface with a mild detergent, and if necessary, a disinfectant, wiping

surfaces with a dampened cloth using 70% alcohol or 10% bleach solution.

Service

There are no user-serviceable parts except for fuses and the rubber seal in the lid. Refer all other service

to qualified Dako service personnel. Reference the Dako Warranty for further instruction.

Change fuses – fuses located in rear of Hybridizer between main power plug and On/Off switch.

Unplug the Hybridizer. Use a small flat screwdriver to carefully disengage the two snap-locks securing the

fuse holder. Remove the fuse holder and inspect type and value of fuse. Replace both fuses with same

type and value. Insert fuse holder and push until two snaps are heard.

Change lid seal (S2453) – remove existing lid seal from the groove in the lid underside. Insert new

seal. Be sure it is properly seated in the groove.

Note: Decontamination before returning for service

Any instrument or accessory containing accumulated blood and/or other biological or chemical deposits

must be cleaned prior to shipment to the manufacturer/dealer for service. This decontamination is

required by Federal Law (Title 48 and 49 of the Federal Regulations) and in accordance with the

Environmental Protection Agency’s Regulations for Biohazard Waste Management. Dako personnel

cannot perform this decontamination.
