Checking the drip tray
Fig. 230
16
The collecting tray (
16
) must be inspected regularly for signs
of leaking reagents (
Fig. 230
).
It is recommended
to do this
after the infiltration and cleaning program has been completed,
before any leaking reagent has a chance to evaporate.
• To do so, pull the tray out by the handle (
Fig. 230
) and empty
it if necessary.
Paraffin containers
Work carefully and wear gloves!
Be careful as the walls of the paraffin baths are very hot and may cause burns!
Caution!
Do not use solvents on painted surfaces, warning labels or the touchscreen.
CAUTION!
Some of the reagents used in the
ASP6025
are hazardous to health. Therefore always
wear gloves and safety goggles when han-
dling them.
