For reliable daily operation, keep the instrument free of dust and liquid
spills. To prevent unnecessary wear or hazards, follow the routine and
service procedures described below at regular intervals.
Clean the outside of the instrument periodically with a cloth dampened
with water or a mild detergent (e.g. dishwashing liquid) or 70% ethanol
when necessary. Immediately wipe away spilled saline solutions,
solvents, acids or alkaline solutions from outer surfaces to prevent
damage.
Abrasive cleaning agents are not recommended, because they are likely
to damage the plastic instrument cover.
Caution Always switch the instrument off and disconnect the power
cable before cleaning the dispenser.
Caution The surfaces can be cleaned with most laboratory detergents.
Dilute the cleaning agent as recommended by the manufacturer. Do
not expose the surfaces to concentrated acids or concentrated alcohols
for prolonged periods of time as damage may occur.
It is recommended to service the instrument at least yearly. Refer to
"Service contracts" on page 84.
If you believe that liquid has entered the Multidrop Combi nL, first
switch the instrument off (Figure 2–4) and unplug the instrument.
Carry out corrective measures. Refer to "Emergency situations" on page
66 and "Decontamination procedure" on page 80 for aid. If necessary,
contact your local Thermo Fisher Scientific representative or the
Thermo Fisher Scientific technical service department. Refer to
"Packing for service" on page 83.
