TIP Shutting down the mass spectrometer affects the operation of the
system. When shutting down the MS, also observe the shutdown
instructions for the other system modules and take appropriate action (refer
to the Operating Manuals for the modules).
To power off, follow the instructions below.
1) Flush the system with an appropriate, pure solvent (minimum LC/MS-
grade) that does not contain any salts. Make sure that residual sample
components, impurities from the column, or buffers are completely
removed from the detector.
2) Cool down the vaporizer.
