Load the Carousel into the Processor
Load an empty carousel into the processor. Open the front door and slide the tray into the center of
the processing area. It is properly in place when it stops against the rear wall.
The carousel does not have to be inserted with the number 1 position oriented in a particular way.
When the instrument begins processing, it will automatically align the carousel to begin processing
at position 1.
