CAUTION: Open the cover only when it is required. It
is important to minimize the amount of time that the
cover is opened due to reagent fume exposure.
CAUTION: Do not open the cover when the COVER
LED is not lit. Operating the instrument with the cover
open may cause injury.
Open the cover and remove the baskets from the 12-
basket storage unit. The baskets may be removed one at
time, or the entire storage unit may be lifted completely
out. Grasp the handle in the middle of the storage unit and
lift upward and out of the instrument.
NOTE: If the 12-basket storage unit is removed, it must
be replaced before beginning operation.
Once the baskets have been removed, close the cover
and resume operation if necessary. The instrument will
return to the standby mode and is again ready for
operation.
