CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
8.1
CLEANING
The recommended frequency of cleaning the microtome depends on how intensely the device is used.
8.2
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The battery generates an acoustic signal when the horizon-
tal slide is moved to the front or rear end position so that
the small handwheel is not turned any further when the
acoustic signal is sounding.
The battery must be replaced regularly once a year (there is
no report for empty batteries), otherwise driving over the
end position can cause mechanical damage.
To change the battery, please pull the inner part of the
cover outwards, to give you access to the 9V-block battery.
Wear protective clothing and disposable gloves according to Good Laboratory Practices.
Please take note of the safety aspects of the device.
To clean the microtome mild domestic cleaning agents can be used. Do not use aggressive clean-
ing agents or solvents such as acetone or xylene, as the plastic or metal components of the device
can be affected or corrode.
The hood should be cleaned with commercially available plastic cleaning agents. Do not use
alcoholic or organic solvents to clean the hood.
Never spray or use cleaning agents directly on the touch panels or the display.
