5.F. Cleaning the Injectors
We recommend thoroughly cleaning the injectors every 30 days.
1. Use a prepared solution of 70% ethanol to flush the injector(s) three times. Prepare at least 10ml of ethanol
for each injector to be flushed.
2. Place the container of 70% ethanol into the bottle holder. The inlet tube should be inserted so that it reaches
the bottom of the container.
3. Ensure the Waste Collection Tray is in position and empty.
4. From the Tools screen (SettingsTools; Tools icon at top right of screen), select "Injectors". Tap the Prime
button to initiate priming.
5. Allow the solution to sit in the fluid path for 30 minutes before flushing the injectors.
6. From the Tools screen (SettingsTools; Tools icon in upper right corner of the title bar), select "Injectors".
Tap the Flush button to show the Flush window.
7. Select 9 flush cycles and press Start Flush to wash the lines with 70% ethanol.
8. Empty and clean the Waste Collection Tray, and place it back into position.
9. Place a container of deionized water on the bottle holder with the inlet tube inserted to reach the bottom of
the container. Prepare at least 10ml of deionized water for each injector to be flushed.

water.
