•Silicone hose (A) with hose adapter 1 (B, to the filter in the instrument), hose adapter 2 (C, for suction nozzle D or F) and suction nozzle (D) – factory pre- assembled
•Silicone stopper (E)
•Chamber suction nozzle (F)
•Filter (G)
•Plastic clip (H), for parking the chamber suction nozzle.
When the suction nozzles are changed, the adapt- er (white) remains in the silicone hose. Pull off the nozzle by rotating and pulling it gently and firmly plug in the desired nozzle.
Ensure that the hose with the nozzle is not installed against its "natural" cur- vature on the pressure plate of the blade holder.
The tension acting on the hose can be minimized by turning the red ring (Fig. 31, top right) clock- wise so that the suction nozzle presses against the pressure plate (I, Fig. 31).
Afterwards, fold the

•The scope of delivery also includes 2 plastic clips (H). These enable comfortable "parking" of the chamber suction nozzle (F) during sec- tioning.
The clip must be glued in before switching on the refrigeration. Before doing so, briefly degrease the surface to ensure a secure hold.
Preferably, the clip should be attached outside the working area, e.g. on the left inside wall of the instrument.
If the extraction nozzle (D) is not being used, it can be "parked" on one of the two magnetic surfaces indicated in the interior of the instrument.
If the extraction is not used for a long time, it is absolutely necessary to clean the extraction hose in order to ensure maximum extraction capacity. To do so, place the hose in commercially available disinfectant or alcohol. After several cleanings, the hose must be replaced (see order information on p. 49)!
