Setup
Location
To allow for adequate ventilation, your Histology Freeze Plate should be placed so that the front and back
of the unit are a minimum of 4 inches (10.2 cm) away from walls and vertical surfaces.
Electrical Power
An IEC power cord is provided with the Histology Freeze Plate. It should be attached to the receptacle on
the rear of the enclosure. Make sure that the power outlet used for the Histology Freeze Plate is properly
grounded and matches the voltage and frequency of your unit.
The use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if one is necessary, it must be properly
grounded and capable of handling the total wattage of the unit. The extension cord must not cause more
than a 10% drop in voltage to the Histology Freeze Plate.
Operation
Place the Power Switch / Circuit Breaker on the front of the unit to the ON position. The working surface
will begin cooling and achieve working temperature in approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
WARNING
: The working surface reaches -34.4°C (-30°F). Avoid direct contact with skin while
operating the unit. Always allow the surface to return to room temperature before cleaning or
performing maintenance. Use the cover provided with the unit to prevent accidental contact while
not in use.
