2. Prepare a 2% solution by adding 10ml of Eko Day solution (through pipette) in 490ml distilled water in a labelled container.
3. Place the solution in milk analyzer working space and dip the tube (sucker) into the cleaning solution.
4. Put the analyzer in cleaning mode, set 20 cycles and press OK button.
5. When the cleaning stage is over, CLEANING END is shown on the display.
6. Discard (throw) the solution and fill the container with clean water.
