Cleaning the Tissue Tray
The parafn inside the tissue tray gradually becomes dirty because this tray
holds cassettes containing tissues. It is recommended to replace the parafn
in this tray with fresh one regularly (after every use).
1. Remove or fully open the lid of the warming chamber, take the tissue tray
out of the warming chamber, and discard the parafn.
CAUTION:
Be careful of handling if the tray is hot.
2. Wash the tissue tray with warm
water (approx. 70 ºC).
3. Wipe down the tray using a lint-
free paper.
Cleaning the Parafn Drain Tray
Discard the parafn in the parafn drain trays every time after use.
Before switching off the Embedding Module, clean the paraffin drain tray
while the parafn is warm and soft.
CAUTION:
Continuing to use the paraffin drain trays without cleaning
may cause them to overflow and dirty the surrounding areas.
1. Remove the parafn on the hot plate. (Refer to Cleaning the Hot Plate
and Cold Spot in this paragraph)
NOTE:
Clean the hot plates first before removing the paraffin drain trays
from the instrument to prevent paraffin residues to drip onto the
bench from the hot plates.

Lint-free paper
