5. Care and Cleaning
WARNING: Do not attempt to clean internal components. Do not insert any cleaning objects or solution past the green guide chute on
the top opening of the unit. Clean exterior only with a soft, non-abrasive laboratory wipe moistened with 70% alcohol before and after each
use period. Condensation from frozen vials should not present an issue, as it will evaporate during the thawing process or stand-by interval.
