Leica CM1860/CM1860UV – Cryostat

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.
