7. Cleaning and Maintenance
7.6 Description of the required weekly cleaning measures
7.6.1 Dispenser group
We recommend rinsing the dispenser group once
a week using approx. 150 ml of a solvent that is
compatible with the coverslip mountant.
• Wipe the coverslip mountant off of the hose
end of the dispenser group.
• Insert the replacement bottle filled with solvent
into the instrument, screw on the lid to close it
correctly (ensure that both O-rings are seated
correctly), then switch the instrument back on.
• Switch off the instrument.
• Fill the additional glass bottle included in the
standard scope of delivery with 150 ml of sol-
vent.
• If a third glass bottle is needed because the
replacement bottle is already filled with cov-
erslip mountant, you can order an additional
glass bottle under order No.: 14 0464 36537.
• Unscrew the coverslip mountant bottle and
remove it from the instrument.
• Wait for the complete initialization to finish,
then proceed as for an instrument restart ( re-
fer to Chapter 5.3. ). However, the priming cycle
should be carried out until all of the solvent
has been flushed through the dispenser group
(press and hold the PRIME button).
Filling the coverslipping mountant bottle:
• If possible, at the end of the working day so
that any air bubbles that arise during filling are
dissipated by the next working day.
• The coverslip mountant needs between
6-12 hours of resting time to degas (time de-
pends on the type of the coverslip mountant).
• If necessary, clean the bottle neck and both
O-rings (blue = bottle neck and black = dis-
penser group) to remove coverslip mountant
residue.
Notice: Due to the high pressure when
rinsing with solvent, it is necessary to
wear gloves, safety goggles and ap-
propriate protective clothing when
changing the cover slip mountant! Se-
lect an adequately sized container to
catch the rinsing residue.
Notice: Danger of dripping – any
mountant that drips down must be
picked up immediately using an absor-
bent cloth.
