Emptying the Waste Bottle Receiver
Check the volume of the Waste Bottle frequently to avoid spillage/overflow.
Disconnect the Waste Bottle from the cap containing the drain lines.
Use appropriate precautions when handling the waste lines. Avoid
spilling or splashing waste material collected in the lines. Check for
kinks or wear in the lines. Always follow appropriate MSDS procedures
when handling samples/solvents.
Pour the collected solvent/sample mixture out of the Waste Bottle into a
proper hazardous liquid waste storage container. Securely reconnect the cap
with drain tubes to the Waste Bottle ensuring the lines are properly inserted.
(Refer to the Basic Information section of this guide for more information on
tubing connection)
Waste sample/solvents can present possible environmental and
health hazards. Dispose of all waste materials in accordance with all
applicable governmental environmental and safety regulations.
Cleaning the Tray that Houses the Waste Receiver
Use a clean dry paper towel to wipe the tray to remove any spillage of
solvent/sample. Dispose of the paper towel appropriately.
Changing Temperature
Change the temperature by tapping the temperature directly under the
“Seeking Target Temperature” caption field in the Warm Up Screen three
times within two seconds.
Calibration
The frequency of instrument calibration is dependent on the usage of the
instrument (number of samples tested monthly), the environment in which the
instrument is located, the type and cleanliness of the samples, and whether
basic maintenance has been properly carried out. CANNON
