• Check and clean the draining system regularly for correct flow.
1. To clean the water draining system, remove the rinsing water vessels and all surrounding
reagent vessels.
2. The remaining reagent vessels have to be covered with lids.
3. Remove the drainage sieve and clean it if necessary.
4. Place one to two cleaning tablets with active oxygen (e.g. a denture cleanser) into the drain
and dissolve in water to remove various residue (reagents, bacteria, fungi, algae).
5. Then, clean the entire curved drainage area inside the instrument with a long, flexible brush.
6. Check the flow by flushing thoroughly with water.
7. Insert the drainage sieve again, and put the vessels back in their original, defined positions.
8. Remove any lids from vessels before processing specimen slide holders into them.
