5.2 Emptying the well (liquid baths only)
It is not recommendable to leave the fluid in the well for long-term
storage. The best way to store the fluid is in its original airtight
container.
Warning
Do not handle hot fluid.
Do not attempt to remove hot fluid with the liquid drainage
tube, as it might melt.
Do not leave any fluid (silicone oil) in the spill tray.
Do not touch the items removed from the well - they may
be very hot.
Never leave hot items, which have been removed from
the well, unsupervised – they may constitute a fire hazard.
The following guidelines must be observed before emptying the well :
1. Switch off the calibrator using the power control switch.
2. Before handling the fluid, it must be cooled down to a
temperature close to ambient.
3. Remove the sensor basket and clean it with disposable paper
towels.
4. Remove the stirring magnet using the stirring magnet remover
supplied and clean it with disposable paper towels.
5. Empty the well using the liquid drainage tube supplied. Tilting
the calibrator is not recommendable, as it increases the risk of
splashing oil all over the test area.
