Cleaning starts a washing cycle using the system cleaner reagent connected to the
analyzer. This action is recommended if clogging problems are experienced (C or Q
error flag), or the blank is high.
Hard cleaning initiates a process that uses a light solution of Erba Hypocleaner CC,
and washes the sampling needle and related tubing with it. The instrument will ask
for the cleaning solution in a sampling tube.
Drain chamber will empty the measurement chamber. You can use this option to
manually add cleaning solution to the chamber when necessary (extreme
contamination in the chamber).
