c.
Select Waste as the flow state.
2. In the Instrument Console, click Standby
, and confirm that the
Operate indicator is not illuminated.
3. Wait 3 minutes to allow the desolvation gas flow to cool the probe and
source.
4. In the Instrument Console, click API
to stop the desolvation gas
flow.
5. Lift the visor on the front of the instrument so that it is clear of all the
source components and probe.
