Cleaning after completion of an infiltration program
If desired, you can select an additional water step for each retort
cleaning program (EXCEPT the full cleaning with detergents).

• To select the water step, press the
WATER
YES
/
NO
button so
that a green check mark appears (
Fig. 218/219
). The water
step is always carried out as the third step in the cleaning
program, that is to say it is not run in addition to the cleaning
program shown in
Fig. 220
.
The three cleaning programs are offered au-
tomatically when an infiltration program has
been completed (
Fig. 217
).
In this case, a retort cleaning cycle MUST be
carried out; this function cannot be canceled.
The water step can only be selected if cleaning
water is present in one of the bottles.
In "Auto by RMS" mode, "Cleaning water"
must be defined for one station.
In "Concentration" mode, the process water is
used as cleaning water automatically.
If the magnetic stirrer was removed from the
retort, it must be reinserted before the start
of cleaning.
Otherwise, the cleaning reagents in the retort
will not be heated effectively.
If cassettes/baskets are not removed immediately after a paraf-
fin run, paraffin can drop into the previously emptied retort.
After an infiltration program, it is not possible
to avoid cleaning - no CANCEL key is present.
Cleaning MUST be carried out!
When cleaning with the water step, the retort
is filled to the second level in the water step,
regardless of whether 3-basket or 2-basket
mode has been selected.
