Electrical Hazards
WARNING
Do not use cleaning protocols for reprocessing as the dry step will damage the tissue.
WARNING
Do not load unprocessed tissue samples into a retort prior to running a cleaning protocol. Formalin in the
residue purged to the wax bath at the start of the cleaning run may damage tissue on subsequent runs.
If you inadvertently load unprocessed samples into a retort prior to running a cleaning protocol, remove the
samples and attempt to load a processing protocol before loading the cleaning protocol. The purge before the
cleaning run will be skipped.
WARNING
Do not use the instrument without installing the drip tray.
WARNING
The instrument must be installed and configured by an approved service representative.
WARNING
Always use suitably rated lifting equipment (such as a trolley or forklift) when moving a Peloris tissue
processor more than a few metres.
Only use the instrument’s castors to reposition an instrument for service access.
WARNING
The Peloris tissue processor must be connected to an earthed mains power outlet socket.
WARNING
Dangerous voltages are present inside the Peloris tissue processor. Only service technicians approved by the
Biosystems Division of Leica Microsystems should remove any of the instrument’s covers or access the internal
components.
WARNING
The instrument’s operating voltage is factory set and it must not be changed.
Severe damage will occur if an instrument is connected to an incorrect power supply voltage.
WARNING
Do not pull out the mains cable whilst the instrument is operating unless there is an emergency situation and
both the front panel power button and the mains wall switch are inaccessible.
