ammonia-based cleaning products, ink markers, sprays containing volatile liquids, insecticides,
disinfectant, polish, or room freshener.
Care should be taken not to spill any samples, chemicals, cleaning agents, water, or other fluids
on/in the analyzer.
Note: Dust and animal hair can lead to analyzer failures. Routinely dust off the analyzer with a
damp cloth and dust around its location. Do not block the cooling vents under the analyzer by
allowing paper, loose materials, or dust to accumulate.
