Flush Procedure
The Flush procedure allows you to clean the system with water. This procedure should be used when changing
from one procedure to another (e.g., when preparing to do an ADF analysis after completing an NDF analysis) or
when doing an NDF procedure after a previous NDF procedure with more than two hours between procedures, or
before storing the instrument.
IMPORTANT
Amylase tends to be sticky. You should always clean the Amylase Dispenser Assembly
and flush Port B after every NDF procedure unless the next procedure you are running is
another NDF, and you run it within two hours of the previous procedure.
To perform a Flush of your analyzer, follow the instructions below.
1. Turn the instrument’s Power Switch to the ON position. The Display will light.
2. Verify that the water supply is on and the drain hose is securely in the drain.
3. Press the arrow keys on the Keypad until you see “Select Flush” on
the Display.
Select Flush
 v <Enter>
4. Press ENTER on the Keypad and follow the prompts on the Display
to set up the instrument for the Flush procedure.
5. Attach the Amylase Dispenser Assembly to port B.
6. Fill the dispenser with hot water.
7. Attach the Amylase Dispenser Assembly to port A.
8. Fill the dispenser with hot water.
If you press and hold the START key on the Keypad during the Flush operation,
water will flow into the Vessel. This will rinse the bottom of the Vessel, but it will
not rinse all the way to the top. If you need to rinse anything from the top part of
the inside of the Vessel, pour hot water into the Vessel as needed during the Flush
operation.
