WARNING
Before initial operation, check the correct operating voltage is set on the voltage selec-
tion switch on the underside of the device. Do not open the housing! Danger of electric
shock!
CAUTION
The sample block and the heated lid can reach high temperatures during operation.
Both the sample block and the heated lid can burn you. The samples are heated up
quickly and may come to an explosive boil. Wear goggles when handling hot samples.
Make sure that the lid is closed securely before starting the program!
NOTICE
The use of oil between samples and sample block is not necessary. If you wish to use
oil, never use silicone oil. Use mineral oil. Ensure that the ventilation slits are clear.
Important: Release the lid wheel before opening the lid! Adjust the lid wheel for
every individual run!
