Cleaning the surface of the infiltration module
Important in order to ensure that the seals always seal properly.
• Remove both covers for cleaning.
• First, clean the stainless steel surface using the plastic spatulas, then
wipe to remove all dirt particles around the retort and the paraffin res-
ervoirs.
Reagent and condensate bottle seal lubrication
• To ensure easy removal of the reagent and condensate bottles, lubricate
the O-ring seals on the plug-in nozzles with the O-ring lubricant supplied.
7. Cleaning and Maintenance
This procedure is particularly important with bottles containing
chloroform. O-rings that have not been lubricated swell when ex-
posed to chloroform. The reagent containers can then become very
difficult to remove.
Checking the retort lid seal
• Regularly check the retort lid seal for damage. If the seal is damaged, it
must replaced without delay.
