Storage at 0°C or less is possible only if the hydraulic circuit is

remains in the Instrument and it freezes, the hydraulic system

Do not allow sodium hypochlorite to remain in the fluid path
longer than the recommended time or damage may result.
Do not use other disinfecting agents or allow diluted sodium
hypochlorite to dry on the external surfaces or damage may
result.
Proper incoming water line disinfection must be followed in
order to prevent heater damage.
