9.1 Check the data plate for voltage, cycle, wattage, and ampere requirements. If matched
to your power source, plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. Voltage should not
vary more than 10% from the data plate rating.
9.2 In selecting a location, consider all conditions which might affect performance, such as
heat from radiators, autoclaves, etc. Avoid direct sun, fast-moving air currents,
heating/cooling ducts, and high traffic areas. Allow a minimum of 5 cm between the unit
and walls or partitions which might obstruct free airflow.

11.0 OPERATION
Do not use this water bath in explosive or flammable environments. Do not
heat or incubate flammable, explosive, or highly reactive materials in this
water bath as serious injury may result.
Temperature of water bath cover and chamber edges may reach over 100°C.
Use protective gloves to avoid burns and injuries.
When opening the water bath cover, beware of steam. It may be very hot and
can cause burns on your face and hands.
Do not use tap water in water bath. You may only use distilled water!
Do not use the water bath without water. Minimum level of water is at least
50 mm.
1. Place the unit on a level surface and plug the unit into a properly grounded outlet of
appropriate voltage.
2. Fill the chamber with desired quantity of distilled water. Normal level of water is 2/3
of chamber height. Minimum level of water is at least 50 mm.
3. Put the stainless steel cover on unit.
4. Press the power switch to the ON position. The switch should illuminate. The water
bath automatically detects and displays the supply frequency as F50 or F60. Water
bath starts to heat.
5. Set desired temperature with UP or DOWN key. You must hold UP or DOWN key
for more than 2 seconds. DOT on DISPLAY blinks. When DOT starts to blink (dot
blinks for 5 seconds), set temperature to desired value between room temperature
+5°C to 99°C. Two seconds after the desired temperature is set, the display will
automatically show momentary temperature.
6. You can always look at set temperature by holding UP or DOWN key for more than
2 seconds.

14.0 TEMPERATURE RE-ADJUSTMENT
Water bath has a software for temperature re-adjustment. You must first measure
temperature in the middle of the chamber or in the sample for a minimum of 2 hours, which
is required to stabilize the temperature. You must measure temperature with a certified
reference temperature measuring instrument with precision of 0.1°C or more. After 2 hours
or more read temperature on thermometer and compare it with temperature on LED
display. Difference between thermometer reading and display is the value, which you will
enter in the software.
Example 1:
Reference Temperature is 37.9°C, temperature on display is 37°C
Difference is 37.9 - 37 = 0.9
Value is 0.9 (value which you enter)
Example 2:
Reference temperature is 36.2°C, temperature on display is 37°C
Difference is 37 - 36.2 = -0.8
Value is -0.8 (value which you enter)
Procedure for Temperature Re-adjustment:
•Press UP and DOWN key at the same time for more than 5 seconds – until Cor
(correction) appears on the display and DOT blinks.
•With UP or DOWN key, define value (when DOT is blinking). Pay attention to the
sign of value (plus or minus). After 5 of defining the temperature – display will
automatically show temporary temperature.
