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.
