Operator Instructions

3. Filling the pipette
Place the tip of the pipette into the liquid to be aspirated. With your
thumb rotate the thumb wheel (as shown in image 2) allowing the liquid
to fill the pipette so that the meniscus is level with the required mark.
Note: Do not allow liquid to enter the Smoothie.
4. Dispensing
Hold the receiving vessel in an inclined position, placing the pipette
tip against the receiving vessel's wall. Press the dispense lever down to
empty the pipette by gravity (as shown in image 3).
5. 'Blow-out' Pipettes
As soon as the meniscus in the pipette comes to a standstill, rotate
the thumb wheel upwards to expel the last few drops. To ensure the
complete volume is dispensed, wipe the pipette tip upwards a few
millimetres along the inside wall of the receiving vessel.
Using your free hand push the piston to its lowest position. The
Smoothie is ready for a new pipetting operation.
