8. Operations
Heating
1. Prior to use fill with water at least halfway full - use care to avoid overflowing (Note: type of water - tap, distilled, purified, etc. is optional based on user requirements)
2. Turn on the power switch and heat indicator light (see section 6.1) will illuminate indicating the unit is heating. Adjust the temperature control dial to the proper setting and allow ample time for the Tissue Floating Bath to warm up. The temperature range is from room temperature to 75°C. Use a laboratory thermometer (not included) to determine actual water temperature based on dial setting and increase or decrease as desired.
3. Once the Tissue Floating Bath reaches your predetermined set temperature the heat indicator light will turn off indicating that the heater is off and the unit is holding temperature.
Making Sure Your Floating Section Is Flat
1. Swipe a slide underneath the floating paraffin section to pick up the section on the slide. After drying the bottom of the slide, place your slide on the outer edge of the Tissue Floating Bath. This will help the paraffin section to dry, flatten out and stick firmly to slide. A slide warmer might be needed for large quantities of slides or extended drying time.
2. Between floating paraffin sections you can use a lint-free disposable towel to wipe across the water to remove any leftover floating paraffin.
3. Add additional water as needed by pouring slowly into the basin; allow several minutes for temperature to adjust and/or increase temperature control setting as needed.
