The initialization described below is also carried out in its en-
tirety after pressing START, if the instrument was previously

shown in the display. The READY LED is illuminated in red.
The user is prompted to check the loading bath after the ini-
tialization. To do so, open the door, pull out the loading bath,
remove the lid if necessary, and remove the empty specimen
slide holder (Fig. 26).
When the loading bath is pulled out, "BATH NOT READY"
appears in the display—push in the loading bath and close the
door.
The dispenser is in working position.
The user is prompted to move the dispenser into prime
position.
The dispenser is in prime position. The user is prompted to
press the PRIME button in order to create pressure in the dis-
penser system (using the coverslipping mountant).
While pressure is being built up, ACTIVATING appears in the dis-
play; this display disappears once sufficient pressure is present.
Press the PRIME button until coverslipping mountant escapes
from the nozzle. The dispenser valve remains open for as long
as the button is held down. The coverslipping mountant is col-
lected in the glass vial (69).
The user is prompted to move the dispenser back into working
position.
The initialization is completed. The instrument is ready to use.
You can begin coverslipping by pressing START.
