Leica EG1160 – Paraffin Embedding Center 9
- When using the optional vacuum attachment, please ensure that, af-
ter infiltration, the vacuum is neutralised very slowly. Therefore, open
the aeration knob very cautiously. Air entering too rapidly could cause
hot paraffin to splash and should therefore be avoided.
- The equipment must not be set up near an air condition vent or should
not be exposed to direct sunlight!
- Prior to any maintenance and service action, the tissue embedding
center must be disconnected from the power supply.
- Full refrigeration capacity is ensured only if the clearance on the back
of the instrument is not less than 15 cm. Therefore, it is necessary to
mount the spacers provided.
- Prior to connecting the instrument to the power supply in the labora-
tory, please make sure that the power supply complies with the val-
ues specified on the nameplate. The tissue embedding center should
be connected to a grounded socket only.
