FRONT AIR SYSTEM
This patented on-demand technology pushes air from the front of
the cutting surface through the back of the area, creating a laminar
flow pattern. This constant ventilation protects the user from
dangerous formalin exposure.
SAFETY NOTIFICATIONS
A series of audible beeps and on-screen warnings alert users of
possible harmful conditions involving air flow, formalin collection
and other hazards.

Unpacking
1. Carefully inspect the exterior of the shipping container before opening. If the create is damaged
and the product has sustained damage then immediately contact Mopec and the freight carrier.
Never discard the shipping container even if it is damaged beyond recognition.
2. Have the delivery driver note any suspected damage on the Bill of Lading and sign it. Mopec will
help assist in filing a claim for product repair and/or replacement.
3. Carefully open the containers and inspect the equipment for concealed damage. If visible
damage is noticed (i.e. broken welds, dented stainless, scratches, etc.) follow through as noted
above. Do not discard the shipping material. They are important in settling claims.
Inspection
1. After carefully unpacking your Mopec Maestro Grossing Station please inspect the items in the
list below prior to installing the unit. The Grossing station should be thoroughly checked for
loose screws, defects, or damage that may have occurred during shipping or packaging.
www.m o pe c .c o m
(800) 362- 8491
info @ m o pe c .c o m
Installation
1. Locate package of smaller items (dissection board, tissue boxes, duct hose or filters)
When removing from the shipping platform, be careful if the unit has a foot pedal. The unit
should be removed from the shipping platform as to not cause damage to the plumbing
attached to the foot pedal.
2. Leveling and Setting Unit in Place
This unit should be off the floor and resting on the leveling pads. The unit should be leveled to
ensure proper drainage. This allows water to evaporate or dry in case of a leak without getting
trapped by the base of the unit. Ensure there is a minimum of 2" from the wall to the back of
the unit. This allows for elevating units to move freely without any obstructions to the wall.
3. Utility Connection
The only connections necessary are the Electric, Cold and Hot water supply, the drain
connection and the HVAC connections if in house ventilation. The disposal will need to be
installed prior to the electrical hook up. The unit is already pre wired and plumbed for the
options ordered.
4. Electrical Connection
All electrical, water and ventilation stubs should be prepared in accordance with our rough-in
dimensions shown on rough in diagram of this manual.
The electrical service provided for the Maestro must include.
a. A switch or circuit breaker to which the wiring harnesses from the workstation will be
connected.
b. If plug and cord option is ordered NEMA L14-20R Receptacle.
Remove the access panels (see photo on next page if necessary). Elevate the unit to its
maximum upper position using the touch-screen. Install the disposal and make all
connections that apply. Reattach the access panels.
Each Maestro has a three foot whip for attachment to the facility, unless a plug and cord
are requested. The whip leads are labeled.

Installation(Continued)
1. Drain Connection
The Maestro is equipped with 1.5" Diameter drain and connections. DO NOT modify the drain
line or connections without contacting MOPEC first. The units are built in accordance with
the rough-in drawings specific to the unit. The drain connection provided unless specifically
requested otherwise is Orion Acid Waste Pipe 1.5" Diameter. The height is per the rough-in
drawings provided at the time of the order.
2. Water supply Connection
The water supply connection are 1/2" Diameter copper pipe. The unit has been cleared of
water and debris during the manufacturing and testing of the unit. The rough-in drawing for
the unit suggests a 1/4" turn valve to be connected to the wall. This is to allow the water to
be localized and disconnected should the need arise to work on plumbing in the future.
Before connecting the unit to the facility water supply, check the lines in the facility for debris
by flushing the lines for a moment. After the connections are made remove the aerator from
the faucet and turn the water on and open the faucet and other water options after the faucet
to allow any debris to evacuate the system. Then one option at a time, open the valves for
the other water options(i.e. Perimeter Rinse, Spray Hose, and then the Disposal). This is the
time to look for leaks or other plumbing issues. The plumbing is tested for leaks and
functions at the facility and is put under pressure for 45 Minutes to check for leaks. With the
maestro pex plumbing, if any leak issues arise, find the leak and replace the line.
3. Ventilation Connection
Ventilation is one of two types for the Maestro; In House Ventilation or Recirculation. For in
house the unit is connected to the facility ventilation system via duct work. The duct work will
vary depending on the model of the Maestro.
a. In House
If your unit elevates, it will have two 8" diameter flexible duct hoses. The duct hoses
are connected to the grossing station chamber door on top of the unit and to
corresponding stubs at the ceiling per the rough-in drawing. The ducts are provided
as well as the stainless steel band clamps. The typical flexible duct hose length is 3
foot.
b. Recirculation
For recirculation models, the filters will need to be installed and the clearance above
the unit verified at its highest elevation. You should have a minimum of 12 inches or
more above the Maestro at its highest position. Air flow is generated by multiple fans
in the recirculation models. They are set up so one fan is on constantly when the unit
is on and the other fan is controlled by a rheostat to control volume/speed.

Cleaning and Maintenance
DISINFECTING AND CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
All stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned with soap and water, which will remove debris.
The stainless steel surfaces can be disinfected with a non caustic disinfectant. We suggest
using BE045 Path Cloud or BE047 Bench Wipe for cleaning purposes. We recommend you
NOT USE a bleach solution to clean your unit. Bleach will eventually erode stainless steel if
not thoroughly rinsed. The use of chlorine bleach will VOID THE STAINLESS STEEL
WARRANTY
During the cleaning we suggest wiping the surface in the same direction as the satin finish
which will help lift up dirt from the grain finish.
Most scratches can be removed simply by utilizing a "non-metallic" abrasive pad and rubbing
in the same direction as the satin finish.
Since most abrasive pads vary from one supply to another, we suggest rubbing the entire
surface to blend the scratch and blend the balance of the surface.
Plexi-glass surfaces will scratch if cleaned with an unsuitable cleaner and improper cleaning.
Many plastic cleaners are available and we suggest using one. Wipe dry with a clean,
absorbent cloth or paper towel turning often
CLEAR DISPOSAL JAMS
The accidental entry of foreign material will cause any Waste Disposal unit to jam. To free
jammed material, follow these steps to avoid personal injury.
1. Turn off Waste Disposal and shut off cold water.
2. Insert one end of your Self Service Wrench, provided with your Waste Disposal, into the
center hole of the bottom of the disposer.
3. Work the wrench back and forth until it moves freely for at least one complete revolution.
Remove the wrench before restarting the Disposal.
4. Wait 3 to 5 minutes to allow Waste Disposal motor to cool and then push the reset button.
Be sure the main Disposal control switch is in the OFF position before pressing the reset
button.
Stainless Steel Care and Maintenance
www.m o pe c .c o m
(800) 362- 8491
info @ m o pe c .c o m
To maintain your stainless steel product, follow these four steps: 1) Never, ever use wire
brushes, Brillo, steel wool or abrasive cleansers (like Ajax or Comet). If something needs to
be aggressively cleaned only use a Scotch-brite pad or similar product and only scour with
the "grain" of the stainless. As an example, please reference the photo on page 2 of this
document. It is clear that a very abrasive product was used in an area on the unit and that did
not follow the grain of the stainless. The effects of this scratching may diminish over time with
proper care but the effects of this scouring are obvious. (The use of the Scotch-brite Pad
following the grain over time may help scratches such as this). Depending on the surface
finish of your stainless steel, abrasive cleaners can cause scratching. Duller finishes probably
won’t show scratching as much as mirror or highly polished finishes. When in doubt, test in a
hidden spot, and also work from the least risky type of cleaning, (i.e. water) to the heavy duty
stuff. Do not use cleaners containing chlorine. While it may be second nature to bleach
everything, stainless steel and chlorine do not mix well. Do not use bleach when cleaning
stainless steel. Do not allow bleach or bleach water to sit for long periods. Bleach can
eventually cause staining and pitting. Bleach stains are removed with stainless steel cleaning
polish.
2) Keep the surface clean of grime, tissue and particulates. This can be accomplished by
using the "Water Hand Spray Rinse" and use of cleaning products.
3) Rinse the surface after using disinfectant. In Pathology and other medical areas the act of
disinfecting is desired. There are a number of ways to do this including using Mopec’s Bench
Spray & Wipe Disinfectant. Labs use any number of different products including 10% bleach
or other disinfectant sprays and wipes. For the most part, each and every one of these has
high salt contents and lower PH levels to aid with disinfection. Most disinfectants must be
followed up with a water rinse to remove the salts that remain after these products dry. We
advise to always follow up a disinfection cleaning with a thorough rinse of water. We advise
not to use diluted bleach, if you must; we stress the importance of a thorough rinse of water
after use. If not rinsed properly, these salts can become visible after the disinfectant dries.
They can appear with a whitish characteristic or contain light lines of white with a grainy feel
when you wipe your hand across the work surface. If these residues are not removed with a
thorough water rinse and wipe down they will accumulate and eventually degrade the
appearance and integrity of your stainless surface. Rust is a long term possibility if salts are
allowed to remain on the work surfaces over time. Gritty, dirty water or residue from cleaning
solutions left on a stainless steel surface can stain or damage the finish.
www.m o pe c .c o m
(800) 362- 8491
info @ m o pe c .c o m
Stainless Steel Care and Maintenance(Continued)
4) All stainless steel products should be protected by a polish. As a prime example before any
product leaves Mopec it is coated with WD-40 as a protecting coating for the stainless. Mopec
offers a Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish in both wipe and spray. These Mopec products
will not only deep clean your stainless but will also protect their finish from chemical, low PH
and salt and keep the finish looking like new.
Decal
Mopec advises that if the technicians are not taking the proper precautions when using the
Decal solution the possibility of two things will occur, a brown or rust ring where the Decal
resides along with a milky white substance on the surface. (As an example, reference the
below photos to see the rust rings.) Decal is very harsh, even the fumes can and will cause
staining on stainless steel. One thing that you might want to consider doing is to place the
Decal container you currently use inside a plastic base that will help catch drips that might
occur. Clean and rinse your station after every use of Decal solution.
Rust
Rust can and will occur on stainless if it is not maintained properly. The most common cause
of rust is from using metal or stainless racks that are not made of 304 stainless. This is
referred to as "transfer rust". Leaving of salts from cleaners or disinfectants can and will lead
to possible rust areas in the long term. Always rinse all disinfectants before they dry. Decal
solutions and even fumes are very aggressive and can cause rust if not cleaned up and used
properly around stainless. Formalin use has not been shown to cause rust in any way.
Conclusions & Suggestions
We are confident and can assure you that if you institute the suggestions detailed above that
your Mopec Grossing station will look as it did the day it arrived.
rinsing with clean water and wiping the surface dry will finish the process and eliminate the
possibility of water stains.
www.m o pe c .c o m
(800) 362- 8491
info @ m o pe c .c o m
Stainless Steel Care and Maintenance(Continued)
Do not assume it's the cleaner. If you do have some spotting or staining, and you've followed
all of the suggestions, it may not be the cleaner. Water, especially hard water, can leave
spotting and staining on stainless steel surfaces. Hard water can leave mineral deposits,
resulting in whitish-colored spots and streaks. Remove hard water stains with vinegar or with
stainless steel cleaning polish. Prevent hard water stains by towel-drying after every wash. Do
not allow soaps and cleaners to dry on surfaces. The chemicals in many soaps and cleaners
can cause staining. Never use corrosive cleaners such as mineral spirits. Use stainless steel
cleaning polish and a non-abrasive scrub pad to remove dried cleaner stains. Baking soda
mixed with liquid dish soap can make a good paste to gently rub on stains. Be sure to rinse
the stainless steel surface thoroughly, and towel dry. If stains remain Mopec recommends
trying a stainless steel cleaner and polisher. Barkeeper's Friend is a good powder formula that
can clean without scratching. Be sure to follow the directions, rinse thoroughly, and towel dry.
These methods should help remove any discoloration.
Fingerprints and Stains – The most common surface contaminates that occur from normal use
are fingerprints and mild stains. These usually affect only appearance so fortunately they do
not have an effect on corrosion resistance. They can easily be removed by a variety of simple
cleaning methods. The most troublesome marks to remove from the surface of smooth
polished or bright finished stainless steel are fingerprints; fortunately they can be removed
with a common glass cleaner or by gently rubbing with a paste of soda ash (sodium
carbonate) and water which would be applied with a soft cloth. Again, it is best to follow with a
warm water rinse.
Clean Water and Wipe – The method that will do an adequate job and is the simplest, safest
and the least costly is the best method. There is no surface coating to wear off of stainless
steels so the surface will thrive with frequent cleaning. The first choice to clean mild stains and
loose dirt and soil should always be a soft cloth and clean, warm water. Rinsing with clean
water and wiping the surface dry will finish the process and eliminate the possibility of water
stains.
Solvent Cleaning – To remove oils, greases and fresh fingerprints that have not had time to
oxidize or decompose, use a solvent that does not contain chlorine. There are many organic
cleaners on the market today that optimize safety attributes and clean ability. Spray or vapor
methods or by wiping with clothes containing solvents can also clean surfaces. The wiping
technique will sometimes leave the surface streaked.

Stainless Steel Care and Maintenance(Continued)
Scratch Repair
A surface scratch can be repaired using the following technique. Completely removing the
scratch will depend on how severe it is. Use 120 grit emery cloth or paper and firm pressure to
sand the scratch. Sanding must always go in the direction of the grain. Sand in a perfectly
straight line, avoiding the natural tendency to sand in an arc. Sand the surface until the scratch
is gone. Polish using a very fine grade of 3M scotch-brite pads. Use the same motions as with
sanding. Polish the surface until the original finish is restored.
For stubborn spots, stains, light discoloration, water marking or light rust staining use a mild,
non-scratching cream or polish. Apply with soft cloth or soft sponge and rinse off residues with
clean water and dry. Avoid cleaning pastes with abrasive additions. Suitable cream cleansers
are available with soft calcium carbonate additions, or with the addition of citric acid. Do not
use chloride or acidic solutions Nylon abrasive pads should be adequate for dealing with most
deposits (DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL OR BRILLO PADS). If a more severe treatment is
needed to mask coarse scratches or physical damage on a surface, use the finest abrasive
medium consistent with covering the damage marks. With directional brushed and polished
finishes, align and blend the new "scratch pattern" with the original finish, checking that the
resulting finish is aesthetically acceptable. Silicon carbide media may be used, especially for
the final stages of finishing. Avoid using hard objects such as knife blades and certain
abrasive/souring agents as it is possible to introduce surface scuffs and scratches. Scratching
is particularly noticeable on sink drainer areas. These are usually superficial and can be
removed with proprietary stainless steel cleaners or, alternatively, with a car paint restorer,
such as 'T-cut'. Rust marks or staining on stainless steels is unlikely to be the result of
corrosion to the stainless steel itself (similar marks may also be found on porcelain and plastic
