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.
