attention particulière aux sections comportant ce symbole.
Caution: Surfaces can become hot during use.
Attention: Les surfaces peuvent devenir brûlantes pendent l’usage.
Always observe the following safety precautions:
Use only as specified by the operating instructions or the intrinsic protection
may be impaired. After transport or storage in humid conditions, dry out the
unit before connecting it to the supply voltage. During drying out the intrinsic
protection may be impaired.
Connect only to a power supply with a voltage corresponding to that on the
serial number label.
Connect only to a power supply that provides a safety ground terminal.
Before moving, disconnect at the power supply socket.
Do not check the temperature by touch, but instead use the temperature
display.
To reduce the risk of eye injury during high temperature operation, use safety
goggles or spectacles.
Do not touch surfaces that become hot during high temperature operation.
Ensure that the operating temperature is less than the maximum operating
temperature of your sample material.
Ensure that the power switch is easily accessible during use.
Possible hazards of explosion, implosion or release of possible toxic gases may
arise from the heating of materials.
This product must be used with an UL Listed / CSA Certified power supply
cord set rated for a minimum temperature of 90˚C.

2. Product Information
The Boekel Paraffin Wax Dispenser is designed to help meet the needs of
today’s histology labs by having 28 liters of molten paraffin wax available
when required by user. The unit has a set temperature range of up to
65.0⁰C. The unit has a heated dispenser valve to ensure a consistent flow
and precise control of flowing wax. The unit also features a rapid warm up
and an advanced safety over-temperature cut-off.
3. Assembly
3.1 Unpacking
Remove packing materials carefully and retain for future shipment or
storage of the unit. Inspect for damage. Report all shipping damage to
the carrier immediately. Shipping damage is covered by the carrier and
repair/replacement for shipping damages must be coordinated through
the carrier. Complete and return the Warranty Registration Card. The
shipment should contain:
28L Wax Dispenser
Power Line Cord
Operating Instructions
Lid
Warranty Card
3.2 Installation
Place the Wax Dispenser on a flat and stable surface, preferably away
from drafts. Plug the power cord into a voltage source that matches the
voltage listed on the serial number label on the rear of the unit. Ensure
that the surface on which the unit is placed will withstand the radiated
heat produced by typical laboratory equipment.
4. Operation
Caution: Ensure the reservoir is filled with a minimum of 2 cm of wax and a
maximum of 2 cm below the top of the reservoir and the dispenser valve is
positioned for “On Demand” dispensing before applying power. Use
caution when filling the reservoir with wax to avoid overfilling the unit.
4.1 Operating the Device
To turn the device on, switch the power switch to the on (I) position. The
wax dispenser will begin achieving the set temperature. The display will
flash between the set temperature and the actual temperature. The word
“HEATING” will be shown as it heats to achieve temperature, and

N2400391 Rev 1 4
“HOLDING” will be shown when the unit has achieved temperature. To
turn the wax dispenser off, switch the power switch to the off (O) position.
The device will return to its previously set temperature upon restart.
4.2 Changing Parameters
Press the “MODE” button to enter the settings menu. In all menus, the
“SELECT” button confirms or enters the selection, while the “MODE/EXIT”
button will exit the menu without saving. The Up and Down arrows are for
changing values. The available functions are:
a. SET TEMP: Use the arrows to increase or decrease the set temperature.
Actual temperature is displayed for reference.
b. HOTSTART: This mode is for setting up a future automatic start and stop
time for heating. Use the arrows to cycle between “ON” and “OFF”.
“ON TIME” and “OFF TIME” are separately configurable in the settings
menu. Please note that the HOTSTART will only work one time and
default to OFF after operation; repeated operation, even with the same
ON TIME and OFF TIME is not possible. HOTSTART must be re-enabled via
this menu after each use if repeat operation is desired.
c. ON TIME: The time at which the device starts heating without user input.
d. OFF TIME: The time at which the device ceases heating without user
input.
e. SETCLOCK: Used to set system time for coordination with HOTSTART
functionality.
