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.

correctly (ensure that both O-rings are seated
correctly), then switch the instrument back on.

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.
• Waitfor thecompleteinitializationto 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:
• Ifpossible,attheendoftheworkingdayso
that any air bubbles that arise during filling are
dissipated by the next working day.
• The coverslipmountant needsbetween
6-12 hours of resting time to degas (time de-
pends on the type of the coverslip mountant).
• Ifnecessary,cleanthebottleneckandboth
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.
