probe 1and the test liquid absorption rod
1a
are
facing downward.
Rinse the electrode probe 1and the test liquid
absorption rod
1a
with distilled water for a minimum
of 15 seconds.
Check if the electrode probe 1and the test liquid
absorption rod
1a
are clean. If this should not be the
case, continue rinsing until both parts are cleaned well.

20 GB
NOTE: If the product has been used multiple times,
it might not be sufficient to clean the test liquid
absorption rod
1a
by rinsing them with distilled water.
Dirt-residue might remain on the test liquid absorption
rod
1a
.
In this case, use a soft plastic brush (such as a
toothbrush) to clean the test liquid absorption rod
1a
.
Use minimum force only.
If necessary, add a few drops of distilled water on the
soft plastic brush.
While cleaning the test liquid absorption rod
1a
, the
soft plastic brush must not come in contact with the
electrode probe 1. Risk of damage to the electrode
probe.
After brushing off residue/dirt from the test liquid
absorption rod
1a
: Rinse the electrode probe and
the test liquid absorption rod with distilled water for a
minimum of 15 seconds.
