for more than 2 seconds and allow to cool.

6.1 Cleaning and replacing the annealing tube

The inside of the annealing tube should be cleaned regularly. Use the handle of the
inoculating loop holder (R2) (included in the delivery) to push through the drill
hole (12)
on the rear of the device and push the annealing tube forwards out
through the sterilization orifice (9a).
Use non-alkaline detergent for cleaning. Fill the annealing tube with appropriate cleaning
solution and allow to stand for several hours to loosen burned-on residue.
(If necessary acidify in 5% hydrofluoric acid (HF) for 2-3 min). After cleaning the inside of
the annealing tube, rinse well with distilled (deionized) water and allow to dry.
To lengthen the annealing tube's life, as a final step we recommend rubbing the outside
with alcohol and then only touching it with gloves to re-insert it.
To install, slide the annealing tube with the closed end first into the sterilization orifice (9a)
until it is fully inserted and is not protruding at the front. When inserting the last
10 mm, use a slight twisting and sliding movement to install the annealing tube in the
correct position.
The annealing tube must be clean and dry, inside and outside,
!
before it is installed in the sterilization orifice (9a).
The annealing tube is a consumable item. Check it regularly for
i
damage. Replace it if opacity, cracks, chips or similar are observed.
