WARNING
Contamination of the pipetting head.
If the pipetting head is initialized with the fixed tip block or DiTis mounted to it, the re-
maining liquid in the tips may be drawn into the head and thus contaminate the head.
• Always drop the DiTis before initializing the pipetting head, i.e. before switching the
instrument off (each time the instrument is switched on, the head will be initialized
again).

8.3.7 Switching the Instrument Off

Before switching the instrument off, some maintenance tasks might need to be per-

Except in an emergency, switch the instrument off only after an application is completed.

Wait until the status light in the power switch is off (for approximately 10 seconds) before
switching the instrument on again.
