10. To clean the ion volume, use the instructions in “Cleaning Stainless Steel Parts” on
page 98. If you are cleaning a CI ion volume, be sure to clean out the small electron
entrance hole. Aluminum oxide can get trapped in this hole, which can adversely affect
sensitivity. Use a dental pick or old syringe needle to clean the hole.
WARNING Burn Hazard. Because the ion volume might be too hot to touch, let
it cool to room temperature before handling it.
