If the instrument has been operated incorrectly, the diffuser may become blocked with liquid. This is manifested by loss of signal, increased baseline noise and in the extreme case gas bubbling out of the nebulizer drain tube. If this happens, proceed as follows:
Increase the gas flow to 2.8 SLM and increase the evaporator to maximum temperature.
The diffuser will be dried out and the instrument ready to use after approximately 1 h under these conditions.
Reset the instrument to the correct operating conditions and allow to stabilize before continuing.
