Empty Retort of all samples

Wipe excess wax from the retort and lid
ü
Wipe excess wax from the lid gasket

The Purge Cycle is necessary to remove paraffin residue from the Retort. It is
always necessary to do so if paraffin was used during the last step.
It is preferable to wash the retort even if paraffin has not been used.
The removal of any paraffin residue before the start of the Purge Cycle program is
useful to extend the life of the Purge Cycle reagents. Scraping should be done with
extreme care. Avoid the use of sharp tools that can damage the Retort surface. A
rubber spatula works well. Even if the Retort is maintained at the temperature of the
last paraffin until the execution of the Purge Cycle, it is preferable to run the Purge
Cycle immediately after the process.
Press
CLEAN to start the Purge Cycle at any time except when a program is
underway. The screen will display data about the Purge Cycle steps.
These steps have been set and optimized by the manufacturer and can
NOT be
changed.
Press
ENTER to start the Purge Cycle. As in any program, the Purge Cycle can be
aborted by pressing ESC and then ENTER within 3 seconds.
