After ending all staining programs, switch off the instrument and
clean the water drain and the drain tube. It is recommended to in-
sert a cleaning tablet with active oxygen into the water drain, let it
work in, and flush with a little water.
Caution!
If there are specimens in cuvettes 1 and 13, these must be secured
by the user and manually removed from the relevant cuvettes and
out of the instrument as necessary. Depending on the relevant
staining steps at the time of the alarm, the user must secure the
specimen so that no damage to the specimen results (for example,
by transferring them into suitable, compatible reagents).
Programs already started and assigned to the manually removed spec-
imen slide holders must be ended with the "
CANCEL RACK
" function
(
refer to chapter 5.8.4 - Quitting programs
).
Important information!
When ending the programs with the "CANCEL RACK" function, a
later proper resumption of the staining process for other specimen
slide holders is ensured.
If it is not possible to ensure a lasting and sufficient drainage of
water from the instrument by cleaning the water drain and the
drain tube, the instrument must be switched off and the responsi-
ble Leica service department must be contacted.
