Figure 8-2. Removing the gasket.
Use foam swabs and DI water to carefully clean the
clamp window. Do not use soap on the window.
If dirt remains on the leaf gasket, gently wash it in water
and a mild detergent and completely dry it before rein-
serting. If needed, replace it with a new gasket (included
in the accessories kit, part number 6360-356).
Avoid water entering the cuvette.
Water can damage the cuvette and flow path. If water
enters the cuvette, disassemble the instrument and
remove the water using a foam swab.

sensor will throw off tleaf values.
1 Power off the instrument.
2 Remove the leaf clamp (pull straight out).

from the aperture.
