Fig. 72 Fig. 73 Fig. 71
• After the signal tone stops, turn the lever all the way to the right ( Fig. 73 ) and open the retort lid.

• To unlock the retort, turn the lever for locking/unlocking ( Fig. 71 ) approximately 45° clockwise
( Fig. 72 ) and release the lever.
The signal tone and the 10-second waiting time occur each time the retort is unlocked!
For this reason, we recommend only locking the retort before starting a program or be-
fore cleaning in order to prevent unnecessary waiting times.
A signal tone sounds for about 10 seconds. The reagent level in the retort drops by about
10 mm during this time.
This prevents the reagents from spilling out of the retort when it is opened.

( Fig. 4 , 42). The retort can then be opened and the samples can be removed.
