This chapter instructs how to shut down the instrument, how to pack it for storage or transport, and
specifies the storage and shipping conditions.
9 .1 Preparing the instrument for transport
Take out the power cord and remove all water/reagent tubing. Rinse the sodium hydroxide solution
tube with distilled water. Clean the instrument thoroughly, so that all chemical residues are removed
completely.
To empty the steam generator, proceed as follows:
• Turn off the instrument and disconnect the power cord.
WARNING
The steam generator gets very hot during operation. Danger of being burned.
• Always let the steam generator cool down for at least 30 minutes after having switched it off
before handling it.
• Open the service door.
• Attach an appropriate silicone tube to the drain cock.
• Place a receiving vessel with a volume of 500 mL below the end of the tube.
• Slowly open the stop-cock with a screw driver and empty the steam generator completely.
9 .2 Storage and transport
Store and transport the instrument in its original packaging.
9 .3 Disposal
To dispose of the instrument in an environmentally friendly manner, a list of materials is given in
chapter 3. This helps to ensure that the components are separated and recycled correctly.
