If you would like not only to clean the directly accessible surface of the cuvette shaft cover, you can remove
the cover.
1. Lift the cuvette shaft cover with one hand.
3. Clean the cover with a cloth or lint-free cotton swab dampened with a mild cleaning agent.
4. Slide the locking pin back into the housing as far as it will go.
The locking pin has completely disappeared in the housing.

2. Choose a disinfection method which corresponds to the legal regulations and guidelines in place for
your range of application.
3. For example use alcohol (ethanol, isopropanol) or other alcoholic disinfectants.
4. Wipe the surfaces with a cloth which you have moisturized with a disinfectant.
 Do not soak the cuvette shaft cover in cleaning agent.
 Clean the cuvette shaft cover as described.
2. With the other hand, hold the cover at the height
of the locking pin and pull the cover to the right
until the locking pin has been removed.
• Pull the cover to the right at a 90 degree angle.
When the photometer is not being used, close the cuvette shaft using the blue cuvette shaft
cover to protect it from dust and other contamination.

disinfection work.
