kept clean.
3.1 Cleaning the Instrument
DANGER
Strong acids and
bases can cause
burns.
1. Switch off the instrument, unplug the power cord and allow
the instrument to cool.
2. Wipe the instrument with a soft, damp cloth. Make sure no
water penetrates into the instrument.
If a vial overflows or breaks, or a small amount of liquid is
spilled, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the instrument, unplug the power cord and allow
the instrument to cool.
2. Draw off the liquid with a pipette, avoiding any contact with
the skin.
3. Transfer liquid residues to a proper disposal.
4. Remove broken glass with tweezers and wipe out any
remaining liquid, avoiding any contact with the skin.
3.2 Instrument Test
The temperature shown in the display corresponds to the
temperature in a closed HACH vial filled with an aqueous
medium. During the heating phase, the real block temperature in
the vicinity of the heater may be higher than the temperature
shown on the display.
An empty Hach vial, glycerol (approximately 5 mL), and a
calibration stem-type thermometer (95–155 °C) are needed to
check the block temperature.
