Check the loading chute and complete working area of the transport chain for broken glass
and adhesive residue. Carefully remove the adhesive residue and broken glass (

Check the plastic container of the dispenser needle cleaner and, where applicable, refill
it with a maximum of 5 ml of a compatible solvent (

Clean the hoods and the housing with mild and pH-neutral commercial household cleaners.
The finished surfaces have only limited resistance to solvents!

chain, specimen slide holder and output magazines using a lint-free cloth soaked in com-
patible solvent.
•
Never leave accessories lying in solvent or water for a long time (e.g. overnight) to prevent
damage.
