5.4.5 Replacing Wax
To replace wax:
1. drain the wax chamber using the Remote fill/drain screen commands,
2. refill the wax chamber manually with molten or solid wax, and then
3. reset the state of the wax chamber.
Before you begin ensure there is a retort available. Draining wax does not fill a retort, but it does
use retort scheduling resources, so at least one retort must be available. The retort does not need
to be clean.
The wax to be drained must be molten.
Follow the instructions below to replace wax in a chamber.
WARNING
Always change reagents when prompted.
Always update station details correctly – never update the details without replacing the reagent.
Failure to follow these directives can lead to tissue damage or loss.
WARNING
Ensure lids are tight and the bottles are correctly plugged into the manifold after replacing
reagent to avoid reagent spills.
