I. Introduction
BK-TEI Model Tissue Embedding & Cooling System is the regular instruments

used to embed pathological tissues. It is used to cool and embed the tissues of human
body or the zoological and botanical tissues after dehydration and paraffin-soaked.
The advanced controlling-microprocessor and the new PTC calorific material have
been applied to this machine. It is also equipped with five temperature control lines
and multiple overheat-avoidance devices. And with the device of time initialization
(automatically startup) for a seven-day week, the client can choose to set the start
time( X day, X hour X Minute) in advance to melt down the paraffin. It is novelty in
form, precise in structure, stable in performance and easy for operation. And the
Cooling platform is composed of disassembled parts for free combination.
This machine is advanced both abroad and at home. It is the practical and
necessary instrument for pathological study and teaching for hospitals, medical
schools, scientific research institutes and food quarantine and inspection
organizations.
II. Functions and features
1. The new PTC calorific material has been used to make it heat up quickly and
heated equally, and energy-saving.
2. The full automatic procedure control can make it possible for presetting the
start time of any weekday. If it is set as 00 o’clock 00 minute of a weekday, that
means to cancel the fixed time of this day.
3. The odd controlling-microprocessor from American ATMEL Corporation has
been used to make it easy to set up temperature and the shining tube has been used to
display the temperature so that we can clearly know that it is in the working state.
4. The temperature survey integration block from American DALLAS
Corporation has been used to make it precise in temperature survey and credible in
performance.
5. It possesses the function of memorization to keep the set temperature
automatically after startup.
6. It is safe by employing the dual overheat-avoidance devices to protect the
heating system.

8.The lowest temperature of the Cooling platform can be 20 ℃ below
zero(-20℃), and the delay protection has been provided with.
9. The illuminating lamp has been provided for the operation to the minimum
specimen tissues.
10、Precise in time display, and it is simple for timing.

VI. Ways of Operation
1、Get ready. Firstly, put enough paraffin blocks into the paraffin container.
2、 Start the machine. Get through the power supply by connecting the power line of
AC220V with the power socket on the rear panel, and press down the switch, the
power has got through when the green light of the switch indicator is bright.

Attention: For the easy operation to users, we have preset the regular temperatures of the
five heating zones in advance: Left box 55℃, paraffin nozzle 70℃, paraffin container 65 ℃,

working table 55 ℃, right box 55 ℃. If the user thinks it is appropriate, just directly presses the

“Start/Stop” key to put it into work.

3、Temperature Setting
Before using the machine, the temperatures of the five heating zones should be set. Do
as follows：Temperature setting should be done when the "Start/Stop" indicator shuts off. For

instance, Press the “preservation box” key, the temperature will increase 5℃ for each time, and

the corresponding number(cycling from 55℃～70℃) indicator becomes bright. Do the same to

other working zones.

When the user want to stop heating in a working zone, all the indicators in this
zone can be set shutoff. For instance, if the user wants the working table to stop
heating, press the “working table” key to shut off all the corresponding indicators.
Press the “Start/Stop” key, the “Start/Stop” indicator becomes bright, and the working
zone begin to heat up, the temperature display tube will change from “Green” into
“Red”, When reaching the set temperature, the indicator will change from “Red” into
“Orange”.
“Red” indicates that the heater is heating up.
“Green” indicates that the heater is at the state of temperature setting.
“Orange” indicates that the temperature has reached the set one and the heater is
at the state of heat holding.
The preset temperature will automatically memorized by the computer chip. If
the user does not want to change the preset temperature, press the “Start/Stop” key to
start heating.

 4、Timing
Press the “Timing” key for three seconds, the indicator for Weekday becomes
bright, then press “Up” or “Down” key to choose the weekday (from 1 to 7), when
finishing the setting, the corresponding weekday indicator will become bright.
Press the “Timing” key to set Hour, the indicator for hour becomes bright and
“00” will be displayed, then press “Up” or “Down” key to choose the hour (from 0
to 23) to finish the hour setting.
Press the “Timing” key to set Minute, the indicator for minute becomes bright
and “00” will be displayed, then press “Up” or “Down” key to choose the Minute
(from 0 to 59) to finish the Minute setting.
At last, press the “Timing” key to finish the Time setting, and all the indicators
will shut off.
5、Time Setting
Press the “Time Setting” key for three seconds, the “Fixed Time” indicator
becomes bright for fixed-time startup setting. When the weekday indicator becomes
bright, press “Up” or “Down” key to choose the weekday (from 1 to 7), when
finishing the setting, the corresponding weekday indicator will become bright. , then
press the “Time Setting” key to finish the weekday setting.
Press the “Timing” key to set Hour, the indicator for hour becomes bright and
“00” will be displayed, then press “Up” or “Down” key to choose the hour (from 0
to 23) , then press the “Time Setting” key to finish the hour setting.
Press the “Timing” key to set Minute, the indicator for minute becomes bright
and “00” will be displayed, then press “Up” or “Down” key to choose the Minute
(from 0 to 59), then press the “Time Setting” key to finish the Minute setting.
When finished setting the fixed-start-time, all the indicators will shut off.
Attention:
When 00 Hour 00 Minute has been set, the machine will stop startup that day.

Ⅶ. Attention
1. After getting the machine, please open the package to examine the outer

7
appearance, check the appurtenances, and read the instruction carefully before starting
and operating the machine.
2. In order to ensure the security of people and the equipment, the three-line
power source is needed, and make sure that the grounding works well. Non-grounding
power is prohibited to this machine.
3. Before the paraffin completely liquated, or before the paraffin nozzle has
reached the set temperature, do not use the manual or foot switch in order to prevent
the nozzle from leaking paraffin and the pipeline blockage.
4. The overheat protector has been equipped to this machine. When the
temperature of the heater surpasses the dangerous temperature 100 ℃, the overheat
protector can automatically turn off the power source of heating. When the
temperature becomes lower, the machine will automatically return to its heating state.
5. In order to lengthen the service life of the Cooling compressor, the successive
working time should be within 4 hours. And a more-than-five-minute gap is needed
for restarting the machine after the power absence.

VIII、Maintenance Service
Under the condition of following the instructed operating regulations, we guarantee to keep

our promise of free maintenance service within one year from the sales day. To those which

have surpassed the period, we will also provide maintenance service according to the

stipulations.

IX、Translocation and Storage

Translocation： Handle in care, avoid wetting, and place upward.
Storage： This machine should be stored in the clean and airy indoor places with
the relative humidity under 80% and be kept far from the caustic gas.
