Cleaning for return
If the instruments are free from hazardous materials, it does not make sense
to clean them thoroughly in the event of a return since the media may be
relevant to the failure analysis.
When returning the instrument, use the original packaging or a suitable transport
packaging.
Information on returns can be found under the heading "Service" on our local
website.
8.3 Disposal
Incorrect disposal can put the environment at risk.
Dispose of instrument components and packaging materials in an environmentally compat-
ible way and in accordance with the country-specific waste disposal regulations.

In case of hazardous substances, enclose the material safety data sheet
for the corresponding medium.
