Intended Use; Cleaning - KERN ALJ Operating Instruction

17.6 Intended use

The ionizing unit should be used solely with electronic scales!
• Discharging solid bodies or scale containers.
Improved ionization results are obtained when the blower is on, the sample
discharging time is reduced.
• Discharging powdery samples. Discharging prevents swirls which are a
problem for toxic samples.
If the samples swirl easily, switch the blower off.
• Discharging the weighed material, the glass wind breaker or scale containers.
Place the ionizing unit near the scale.
• Discharging beakers etc.
Shaking a beaker holding a powdery sample results in depositing the powder
on the inner wall of the beaker. This is prevented by discharging the beaker.

17.7 Cleaning

Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents (solvents etc.), but clean the
device with a cloth and mild soap solution. The liquid must not get inside the
device. After cleaning is finished, wipe the device dry using a soft cloth.
Keep the ion source openings clean.
