6. Cleaning and Maintenance
Step 4
Once the message that SMART Clean has been successfully
completed is displayed on-screen, all bottles must be returned
to the instrument.
Afterwards, several pressure cycles are generated in the retort.
When the target pressure is reached, it is released via the (clean-
ing xylene) RTU-bottle (in this example: D5).

The last step in the SMART cleaning process is then to flush the
retort with ethanol (100 %).
To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Fill an RTU-bottle with ethanol (100 %) and place it in any
position in the drawer.
2. Mark this RTU-bottle as full.
3. Then switch to the SMART SCREEN and fill the retort to the
2nd level from this bottle, then transfer the reagent back to
the bottle.
4. Carry out the procedure for flushing with ethanol (100 %)
(points 1-3) in sequence from EACH position of the drawer
(D1-D6).
5. Once completed, remove the RTU-bottle from the instrument
and dispose of the reagent.
