Operation
Fig. 53
•
Fill the wax bath with wax pellets up to the max-
imum level line (
1
in
Fig. 53
). This requires ap-
prox. 3.5 kg pellets per wax bath (Leica pellets).
•
Press
BACK
and
REAGENT STATUS
to access
the reagent status table (
Fig. 52
). Highlight the
wax bath you just filled and press
SET AS FULL
.
•
After about 90 minutes, add another 0.5 kg of
wax pellets.
•
Do not insert the splash protector during the
heating phase.
•
The pellets will take a total of approx. 10 hours
to melt.
Important!
During the melting process, the par-
affin level may NOT drop below the
MIN level (pos. 2,
Fig. 53
).
•
Once the paraffin is completely molten, rein-
sert the splash protector.
Software control
•
Paraffin pellets have to be completely molten
before the ASP300 S allows any programs to
be run.
The instrument software calculates when the
wax will be ready for use and selects program
starting times accordingly, i.e. the paraffin will
definitely be molten when it is required for the
first paraffin step.
