To freeze the tip of the probe (Freezing), press the footswitch connected to the
instrument. When the footswitch is pressed, the timer activates to count the time
of application.
5.
To defrost the tip of the probe (Defrosting), release the footswitch connected to
the instrument. The defrosting phase is followed by the pneumatic circuit
draining phase (Venting). In both of these states it is always possible to resume
the freezing phase (Freezing) by pressing the footswitch again.
CAUTION
Do not remove the probe before the end of the pneumatic circuit draining
phase (Venting).
6.
After a few minutes of inactivity, the system performs a new probe cleaning cycle
(Purge) in order to remove the latent humidity inside the pneumatic line of the

Stop key on the console. To begin the freezing phase of the probe (Freezing), just
press the footswitch connected to the instrument.
