The current step, total and current time are always displayed in blue at the bottom of the
Run Log.
NOTE: If the current time is not accurate do not change it during the run. Adjust the time
at the completion of the run. To reset time refer to the Windows 98 or XP documentation.
NOTE: After the completion of the run, the slides will be rinsed with deionized water
every 60 minutes until the slides are removed from the Autostainer Plus (the deionized
water feature is not available for the “01” hardware version of the Dako Autostainer Plus).
