CAUTION: Exercise care to avoid damaging the mesh 

filter during cleaning. Tears in the mesh may  allow 

debris to enter the reagent containers or paraffin 

ovens, and result in improper processing of tissue 

specimens. 
3.

 

Clean  Retorts  #1 and #2 mesh filters using a soft-
bristle brush and isopropyl alcohol. Ensure that the 
filters are completely free of debris. Allow the filters to 
air dry. 

4.

 

Clean  Retorts  #3 and #4 mesh filters using a soft-
bristle brush and hot soapy water. Ensure that the 
filters are completely free of debris. Rinse the filters 
and allow to air dry. 

5.

 

Use the Retort Mesh Filter Removal Tool to engage 
the hub in the center of the mesh filter. Insert the filter 
into the appropriate retort, then turn the removal tool 
clockwise to lock the filter in place. 

6.

 

After installation, manually close the retort lids. 

7.

 

Close the Retort Access Door. 

Paraffin Oven Mesh Filter Cleaning 

The paraffin mesh filters aid in ensuring that any debris 

generated during processing does not enter the paraffin 
ovens. If excessive debris accumulates, the filling  and 
draining processes for Retorts #3 and #4 may be affected. 

To  ensure proper filling and draining of the retorts, 

clean the paraffin oven mesh filters weekly. 
To clean the paraffin oven mesh filters: 
1.

 

Open the Paraffin Oven Access Door (Figure 7-P). 

 

Figure 7-P 

2.

 

Press in on the paraffin oven to unlatch, then slowly 
slide the oven out of the cabinet. 

3.

 

Turn the locking knob on the lid of Retort #3 paraffin 
oven clockwise, then lift the lid to open (Figure 7-Q). 

 

Figure 7-Q 

4.

 

Grasp the tab of the mesh filter, and pull up to remove 
the filter from the paraffin oven. 

CAUTION: Exercise care to avoid damaging the mesh 

filter during cleaning. Tears in the mesh may allow 

debris to enter the retorts  and result in improper 

processing of tissue specimens. 
5.

 

Clean the filter using a soft-bristle brush and hot 
soapy water. Ensure that the filter is completely free 
of debris. Rinse the filter and allow to air dry. 

6.

 

Hold the mesh filter by the tab, and replace the filter 
in the paraffin oven. Close the oven lid. 

7.

 

Repeat steps 3 through 6 for Retort #4 paraffin oven 
mesh filter. 

8.

 

When both filters have been cleaned, slowly push the 
paraffin oven back into the cabinet until the oven 
latches into place. 

9.

 

Close the Paraffin Oven Access Door.
