4. Unscrew the filler cap counter clockwise slowly, so that any pressure in the vaporizer can
escape slowly.
NOTE
z Do not fill the bottle to the very top. This can lead to escape of anesthetic agent.
5. Rotate the drainage knob counter clockwise for three to four turns by the filler cap or the key
of drainage funnel. Drain until no more anesthetic agent can be seen in the sight glass and no
more anesthetic agent runs into the bottle. If necessary, close the drainage knob in good time
and continue the drainage process with a new bottle.
6. Close the drainage knob clockwise.
7. Tighten the filler cap.
8. If the anesthetic agent has also to be removed from the wick, see 4.4 Blowing off the
Vaporizer.
WARNING
z Tighten the filler cap and drainage knob after draining the vaporizer is completed.
Failure to do so may cause anesthetic agent to escape when the vaporizer is switched on
next time.
9. Unscrew the drainage funnel and adapter from the bottle.
10. Tighten the cap of the anesthetic agent bottle even if it is completely empty.
4.4 Blowing off the Vaporizer
If the anesthetic agent has also to be removed from the wick after draining, set the control dial to 5%
and flush for 5 hours at 5 L/min Air or for 2 hours at 10 L/min Air to allow gas to flow into the waste
gas scavenging system.
