4.5 Anti-reflection clip – Function
The anti-reflection clip (Order no. 14 0476 44135) prevents any reflections that might otherwise be
emitted from the specimen basket (3, order no. 14 0476 34193) and that could affect the level sensor in
the retort, thus causing malfunctions.

Installing the clip
Changing the clip
• Once the clip is installed, the handle (4) of the speci-
men basket cannot be removed, as otherwise the
clip will be bent.
• To remove or replace a clip, all parts that are inside
the basket (e.g. spiral insert and separating walls)
must be removed from the basket.
• Then, insert a suitable tool (screwdriver 5, Fig. 11 )
and pry the clip out from the inside.

4. Initial Operation
The anti-reflection clips are intended for in-
stallation on the specimen basket to prevent
reflections of the level sensor.
When inserting or removing the metal bas-
kets into/from the retort, always do so care-
fully so that they do not touch or become
caught on the retort wall.
Once bent, clips may no longer be used and
must be disposed of. In this case, install a
new clip from the standard scope of delivery.
