Cleaning the Parafn Chamber
Normally the paraffin chamber does not get very dirty because it always
receives fresh paraffin. However, foreign matters may enter the chamber
during the opening and closing of the lid. To clean the paraffin chamber of
foreign matters, drain the parafn from the chamber.
This should be done when the parafn level in the chamber is low.
Start cleaning when the parafn inside the parafn chamber is molten.
WARNING:
• The paraffin melting part and paraffin in the instrument
become hot.
• Exercise caution to prevent burns.
1. Turn on the Embedding Module power switch.
2. If the instrument is paused, touch the “Heat” button [1] to activate the
instrument.
If the instrument is in the auto operation mode, touch the “Extend” button
[2] to activate the instrument.
3. Check if the parafn inside the parafn chamber is molten. If not, wait for
the parafn to be molten or touch the Quick Heating button. (Refer to 3.2.2
Melting Parafn Quickly for the Quick Heating button.)
4. Place a container underneath the dispenser and press the nger plate to
drain all parafn from the parafn chamber.
NOTE:
If the finger plate is pushed for one minute, the dispensing stops
automatically for safety reasons. Push the plate again.
