Caution!
If there are specimens in the instrument, these must be secured
and manually removed from the cuvettes and out of the instru-
ment by the user. Depending on the staining steps affected at
the time of the alarm, the user must secure the specimen so that
no damage to the specimen results (for example, by transferring
them into suitable, compatible reagents).
5 Supplement ST5020 V1.3, RevD - 2/2013
The programs already started that are to be assigned to the specimen
slide holders removed manually must be ended with the "CANCEL
BASKET" function ( refer to Chapter 5.8.4 - Quitting programs ).
Important information!
When ending the programs with the "CANCEL BASKET" func-
tion, a later proper resumption of the staining process for other
specimen slide holders is ensured.
If it is not possible to ensure a lasting and sufficient drainage of
water from the instrument by cleaning the water drain and the
drain tube, the instrument must be switched off and the respon-
sible Leica service department must be contacted.
