Arrange for an Agilent field service engineer to perform
preventative maintenance.
When you are finished, switch off the instrument and allow it to
cool.
Remove any hardware present in the sample compartment (refer
to the appropriate instructions if necessary).
Using a cloth dampened with water, clean the sample
compartment, instrument cover, flame shield and chimney. If
necessary, use a mild detergent to clean the cover. Do NOT use
an abrasive cleaner. When analyzing biological samples, wipe the
instrument with chlorhexidine in 95% ethanol.
Clean the sample compartment window and the lamp
compartment windows with a gentle stream of filtered air or
inert gas, or a puffer brush, like those used to clean camera
lenses.
If the windows are dirty, wipe them using an optical tissue held
between plastic tweezers and dampened with a 50%
ethanol/water solution.
