To Change the Glass Liner on the Purged Packed
Inlet
1 Gather the following:
• Replacement glass liner, see “Consumables and Parts for the Purged Packed Inlet” on
page 74.
• 9/16-inch wrench
• Lint-free gloves
2 Launch the GC maintenance wizard: Maintenance > Inlets, select the inlet, then select
Perform Maintenance > Replace Liner and O-Ring > Start Maintenance. The wizard will
walk through the steps needed to replace the liner (those same steps are repeated below).
WARNING
Be careful! The oven and/or inlet may be hot enough to cause burns. If the inlet is hot, wear
heat-resistant gloves to protect your hands.
3 Loosen the top insert assembly to remove the top portion of the inlet.
4 Use a thin wire or wood splint to carefully lift and remove the old glass liner.
CAUTION
Wear clean, lint-free gloves to prevent contamination of parts with dirt and skin oils.
5 Wearing gloves, inspect the O-ring and replace, if necessary. See “To Change the O-Ring
on the Purged Packed Inlet” on page 87.
