The removable forceps holder under the dispenser can accommodate up to 6 forceps.
Note
• While orienting the tissue, the paraffin should not become too solid, as this may cause different
phases in the finished block, including fissures inside, as a result of which the block may break
during sectioning.
• It is recommended to clean the forceps before using.
Warning
The forceps holder is heated to between 50 °C (122 °F) and 75 °C (167 °F) during operation.
Risk of burning!

Two indirectly-heated paraffin collection trays for excess paraffin are located under the working
surface.
Warning
• The paraffin collection tray must be emptied daily or whenever it is full. To prevent contamination,
do not reuse paraffin collected in this tray.
• If the instrument is operated without the paraffin collection trays, there is risk of burning.
