The automatic analyzer for analyzing a sample includes a dispensing probe configured to dispense the sample or a reagent, a reservoir configured to reserve a cleaning liquid used for cleaning the dispensing probe, a flow path connected to the reservoir and through which the cleaning liquid flows, and a control unit configured to control each unit. The control unit draws the cleaning liquid in the reservoir into the flow path, and then supplies system water to the reservoir.
