3.2.1.5 Filling the vessel
In mode MEDIACLAVE, the heating water (coupling medium) filling level depends on the amounts of prod-
uct. Fill the vessel with
distilled or deionised water . Ensure that the water does not contain chalk or min-
erals. The water level (with the cuvette inserted) must be approximately 7 cm below the upper edge of the
vessel (approx. 2 litres).
3.2.1.6 Closing the vessel lid
1. Close the vessel lid by turning the grips clockwise around the attachment point. The grips of the ves-
sel lid (1) must be aligned above the white stickers (2), as shown in the picture below. Otherwise the
safety of the instrument is severely compromised.
Figure 3.1: Closing the vessel lid
2. Ensure the inlet and outlet caps are screwed finger-tight
3.2.1.7 Removing the cuvette
1. Once the MEDIACLAVE cycle is finished press END
2. Using both grips, turn the vessel lid anticlockwise until it unlocks and is released
3. Open the vessel lid
4. Remove the cuvette (Take care about the product temperature sensor)
NOTE:
If insufficient water is added, an alarmed error message appears on the screen. Follow all on-
screen instructions.
ATTENTION:
The vessel lid must be closed at all times during MEDIACLAVE program operation!
NOTE:
If the white stickers are not present on the instrument they can be ordered from your distribution
partner as a retrofitting kit including instructions how to attach the stickers.
As long as the stickers are missing: The vessel lid is correctly closed if the 2 screws of the vessel lid holder
and the filling port are in line as shown as dashed line in Fig. 3.1.
NOTE:
If there is a difficulty in opening the vessel lid, slightly unscrew the adding port caps to release
any residual pressure may help. This little residual pressure is mostly generated by the natural vaporisa-
tion of the hot media or water which is within the vessel. After releasing the residual pressure, the addition
port must be closed again before opening the vessel lid.
