Cleaning
•
Clean the reagent and tap water stations as well as the trough which
holds the reagent and tape water stations regularly.
•
For that purpose, remove the reagent and tap water stations from the
trough.
•
The reagent and tap water stations can be washed in a laboratory
dishwasher.
Wash the tap water and reagent stations in the dishwasher at a tem-
perature of max. +65 °C . - Use a standard detergent for laboratory
dishwashers.
At any rate avoid washing the stations at higher temperatures (e. g.
in industrial diswashers which run at a temperature of +85 °C), as the
stations may become deformed!
•
To clean the painted instrument surfaces and the lids, use a mild
household detergent (see safety instructions on previous page for non-
appropriate ingredients).
•
From time to time check the drain hose for accumulated dirt, especially
algae - clean if necessary.
