Checking the drip tray
Fig. 224
16
The collecting tray (16) must be inspected regularly for signs
of leaking reagents (
Fig. 224 ). It is recommended to do this
after the infiltration and cleaning program has been completed,
before any leaking reagent has a chance to evaporate.
• To do so, pull the tray out by the handle (
Fig. 224) .
Paraffin containers
Work carefully and wear gloves!
Be careful as the walls of the paraffin baths are very hot and may cause burns!
Caution!
Do not use solvents on painted surfaces, warning labels or the touchscreen.
CAUTION!
Some of the reagents used in the Leica
ASP6025 are hazardous to health. Therefore
always wear gloves and safety goggles when
handling them.
