Operating instructions

Laboratory glassware (LG)
Wide-necked laboratory glassware,
e. g. beakers, wide-necked Erlenmeyer
flasks and Petri dishes, and cylindrical
shaped items e. g. test tubes, can be
cleaned and rinsed, internally and
externally, by the action of the rotating
spray arms. They can be arranged in
full, half and quarter inserts in an empty
bottom or top basket with spray arms.
Narrow-necked items such as narrow-
necked Erlenmeyer flasks, conical
flasks, measuring flasks and pipettes,
require mobile injector units or injector
modules.
The following instructions relate only to
basic preparation and loading of
glassware.
