Leica EG1150 H – Paraffin Embedding Station

• The heaters become active and the LEDs indicate the values last set.

The target value LEDs for the heating areas (1, 3, and 4 in Fig. 18) flash

quickly for the duration of the heating phase (cf. "Display of the heating

intervals").

The LED for the paraffin reservoir (2 in Fig. 18) flashes in 1-second inter-

vals and thereby indicates the intensified heating of the paraffin reser-

voir (for 4 hours).

If temperature settings are modified during the heating phase, the in-

strument will store the new settings and the heating phase will then

correspondingly take longer.

• Fill the paraffin reservoir with paraffin.

Prior to leaving the factory, the Leica EG1150 H is tested thoroughly under laboratory condi-

tions. For this reason, you will find a small quantity of clean, hardened paraffin. You can work

with this paraffin without any problem.

The unit's normal operating mode is STANDBY/ON; i.e. switch on/

off with the ON/OFF key only.

Use the standby switch only if the device is to be switched off for

an extended period.
