Routine Maintenance
User’s Guide 357
No more than one 96-well plate should be processed, for each
wetting tray, without replenishing the Wetting Tray.
Periodically check the liquid level in the wetting tray. Liquid level
should NEVER be allowed to rise into the eight recesses of the
wetting tray lid, nor drop below the fill level indicator line (9 mL
minimum). The top surface of the wetting tray lid must remain clean
and dry under any and all circumstances.
Installing the Wetting Tray
1. Rotate the wetting tray retainers outward.
2. Insert the Wetting Tray into the receptacle between the Sample and Buffer plates
(Figure 221) and then gently press it down into the well.
3. Rotate the Wetting Tray Retainers inwards to lock the Wetting Tray in place.

tray retainers.
