Housing parts 

Check the ventilation slots (Fig. 6 no. 1) for any residual dust and clean them with a dry brush, or remove the dust 
using a vacuum cleaner. 
 

Never blast the device interior with compressed air, nor use it to blow dust away. This may lead 
to excessive dust accumulation in the device interior, which is a fire hazard.  
 
A cloth moistened with mild, soapy water must be used to clean the housing parts, but in the 
case of severe contamination, the Scotch-Brite® professional sponge must be used.   
 
If methylated spirits, alcohol or benzine, etc. are used, you will destroy the switch labelling (Fig. 5 
no. 4 to no. 9) on the front panel (Fig. 5 no. 12). 
 

 

  

3.1.3

 

Vacuum chamber 

Regular cleaning of the easy-to-clean vacuum chamber prevents the accumulation of deposits which, over time, 
can detract from the appearance and functionality, particularly of the shaking drive. The vacuum chamber of the 
DancerPlus can, depending on the degree of contamination, may be cleaned with glass cleaning agents, ethanol 
70% and, if required, with standard stainless-steel cleaning agents. Ensure that no rusty objects come into contact 
with the vacuum chamber. Rust deposits lead to contamination of the stainless-steel. If rust spots appear on the 
surface  of  the  vacuum  chamber  due  to  contamination,  the  affected  areas  must  be  cleaned  and  polished 
immediately (contact the manufacturer or authorised supplier if required). 
Remove and clean the O-ring (Fig. 7 no. 4) with a glass cleaning agent or ethanol 70% and check the O-ring for 
bends and cuts; it may need to be replaced. Also clean the O-ring guide slot on the vacuum chamber. 
Clean the glass surfaces and side walls of the four recesses for the shaking plate feet (Fig. 7 no. 7) until no deposits 
are visible. Deposits may impede the shaking drive, or completely block it. If the  shaking drive  is impeded, its 
service life will be reduced. 
 

Never  pull  on  the  temperature  sensor  cable  during  any  cleaning  work,  as  this  may  cause 
leakages. To clean the cable and sensor, hold the cable in one hand, and clean the cable and 
sensor with the other hand using a cloth or rag moistened with mild, soapy water. Check the 
sleeve  of  the  cable  and  sensor  for  bends  or  cuts;  the  temperature  sensor  may  need  to  be 
replaced. 
 
Do not use knives, screwdrivers, scissors or similar tools to remove hard encrustations. Instead, 
soak the encrustation with soapy water, disinfectant or ethanol 70% for 15 to 30 minutes and 
remove it with a dry cloth, using a wooden or plastic spatula if required.   
 

3.1.4

 

Glass panel 

To clean the glass panel (Fig. 7 no. 1), close the  lid and remove the four securing screws (Fig. 8 no. 1). Then, 
carefully open the  lid. The  glass panel is  left on the vacuum  chamber and can be cleaned on both sides with 
standard glass cleaning agents, soapy water or, if required, with ethanol 70%. The Scotch-Brite® professional 
sponge may be used for significant encrustation. 
 

The IR lamps and the reflector (Fig. 7 no. 2) may only be cleaned by an authorised technician. 
Improper handling may cause the IR lamps to malfunction, and the reflector to become bent and 
/ or scratched.
