When cleaning the auxiliary electrode, the edges of the spacer
may get damaged.

The spacer must then be replaced.

Moisten a cotton swab with 2 mol/L of nitric acid.

Use this to carefully wipe the auxiliary electrode.
The edges of the spacer may be damaged when wiping the auxili-
ary electrode.
If the auxiliary electrode is tenaciously stained, we recommend
that the spacer be removed prior to cleaning the auxiliary elec-
trode (see Chapter 5.2.3, page 15).

2 Rinse off the measuring cell (except for the working electrode and

the reference electrode) under running water and dry with a lint-free
cloth.

NOTE

When you rinse off the measuring part, take care to ensure that
the chip in the cell holder does not get wet.
