Procedure

1. Shut down and vent the system:
1. Wait until data acquisition, if any, is complete.
2. Turn off the flow of sample solution from the LC (or other sample introduction device).
3. In the Tune window, click the System Off button to put the instrument in Off condition. All high voltages are shut off, as are the sheath and auxiliary gas.
4. Put the main power circuit breaker switch of the mass spectrometer in the Off position. The instrument is shut down and vented.

5. 

2. After five minutes, disconnect the power cords of the mass spectrometer and the forepump from the wall outlets. This prevents the system from being switched on in the open state.
3. Wait for 15 minutes to make sure that the instrument is completely vented.
4. Prepare a clean surface on a bench or ideally in a fume hood, for example by placing some clean aluminum foil on the bench.
5. The lid of the accessories cabinet is held by magnets. Press at the top corner to release the lid from the magnets. Then fold it open.
