6.3 Cleaning the heating element
If the operator inserts the sealing film upside down on the microplate the sealing
film may get stuck on the heated sealing plate. To clean it proceed as follows:
Switch “OFF” the unit
Disconnect the unit from the mains power supply
Do not attempt to clean the unit until it has cooled down to near
room temperature
Release the lever on the back of the unit counterclockwise (see figure);
The drawer can now be fully removed from the unit
Peel off the sealing film by hand and clean with a paper towel if required.
Please note that the cleaning operation is much easier when the sealing film is
near ambient temperature!
