In general, avoid this situation by always cleaning the retort immediately after a
processing run, when prompted. Do not put fresh cassettes into a retort that is
showing residue in it, as indicated by the icon at right (formalin residue may be
acceptable).
3.3 Status Screen
Use the Status screen to run protocols and monitor protocol progress. The main features of the
screen are shown in Figure 25.

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.
