2.7 Removing the microtome
• The microtome is encapsulated and therefore does not require removal
by the user.
2.8 Maintenance
Replacing the fuses
• Turn the instrument off and disconnect the power plug before replacing
the fuses!
• Use only the fuse types specified in Chapter 3, "Technical Data". Failure
to comply with this can cause severe damage to the instrument and its
surroundings!
Replacement of the lamp/UVC lamp
If both disinfection indicator lights are flashing alternately, the UV
tube must be replaced!
• Turn the instrument off and disconnect the power plug before replacing
the lamps. (
For more details, refer to Chapter 9, "Cleaning, Disinfection,
Maintenance.
)
It is possible to break the UVC lamp during replacement. If this
happens, the lamp change must be completed by Technical Ser-
vice. If any metallic mercury is released, handle it carefully and
dispose of it properly.
2. Safety
• Do not use organic solvents or other aggressive substances for cleaning.
Use only disinfectants listed in these Instructions for Use, such as Leica
Cryofect (alcohol or other common alcohol-based disinfectants).
Please contact Leica Biosystems for further details on adequate
disinfection measures.
