54 Instructions for Use V1.4 – 10/2012
7.6.2 Shutdown for a longer period
If you do not intend to use the instrument for several weeks you may
turn it off.
Please note, however, that it may take up to several hours to cool
the cryochamber down to very low temperatures after turning the
instrument on again.
After turning off, the instrument should be cleaned and disinfected
thoroughly (see chapter "9. Cleaning, Disinfection, Maintenance").
• Follow the steps in 7.6.1 until UV disinfection is complete.
• Switch the instrument off at the circuit breaker and unplug the power
plug.
• Open the sliding window to allow air circulation, allow the chamber to
dry and prevent accidental breakage while stored.
Switching off the instrument via the circuit breaker will not affect the pro-
grammed values.
Before turning the instrument on again, the cryochamber microtome and all
accessory components must be absolutely dry.
