Program Completion

1. For protocols above 95ºC, the unit will enter a cool-down. The run screen will display a down arrow in the upper right corner. The  
     elapsed cool down time counts up from zero once the protocol completes and is displayed with an up arrow at the bottom of the  
     screen. Once the unit reaches 95ºC, the protocol is finished and the unit will begin beeping and the current unit temperature will  
      begin flashing.

2. For protocols below 95ºC, the unit will begin beeping and the current unit temperature will begin flashing upon run time completion. 

3. Press the circle button to silence the beeping. 

4. The  Decloaking  Chamber  NxGen  will then show a Liquid Too Warm screen This screen shows the current temperature of the  
     water chamber. 

a. This screen will remain until the water chamber temperature reaches 80ºC. A new run cannot be started while this screen is displayed.
b. Once the water chamber reaches 80ºC, the home screen will appear and another run can be started.
c. The water chamber may be removed and the water replaced with room temperature deionized  
    or filtered water to expediate the cool-down.

5. Use extreme caution when opening the lid. Turn the lid clockwise and lift. Tilt the lid at a 45º  
     angle above the water pot and shake several times. This will allow the water that has accumulated  
    in the lid to drain. Place the lid next to the unit.

a. 

Use extreme caution when opening the lid!

 Liquids and steam inside 

    may be at scalding temperatures.
b. Water will tend to accumulate under the lid. Allow the lid to drain at an 
    angle prior to placing the lid next to the unit.

6. Using extreme caution, remove metal rack holder with slide canisters from the water chamber by  
    holding the plastic handles.

a. Do not hold the metal slide canisters or metal rack holder by the metal portion 
    as this is extremely hot!
b. Gloves can be used to help insulate skin from the heat.                                                                                            

                                                                               

7. Continue slide processing.

8. Let the Decloaking Chamber NxGen cool before removing water chamber and water. Remove the water 
   chamber and properly discard the water.

9. If another run is to be started immediately, replace the warm water present in the water chamber and  
    metal slide canister(s) with new room temperature deionized or filtered water.

5.
