- After dispensing liquids that can form deposits
- Before changing the reagent
- Prior to long term storage
- If some liquid has accumulated in the closure cap
- Prior of sterilization
- Before valves replacement

Empty and unscrew the instrument from the bottle and lift the instrument so that the filling
tube is out of the liquid but in the bottle.
