Safety instructions
Only use the quick reference guide in combination with the detailed operating manual.
WARNING!Risk of electric shock! Check whether the voltage selector switch (bottom) is
set to the correct mains voltage.
CAUTION!Risk of burns! Close the heated lid before starting the program. Use protective
equipment when handling hot samples.
NOTICE!Reduce the contact pressure for opening: Turn the wheel counterclockwise and
then press the button. After closing the lid, apply the contact pressure via the lid wheel.

Setting optional program parameters
}Open a program or a program template for editing. Select a step.
}Program loops: Define to which step the program shall return under GoTo. Define the
number of reiterations under Cycles. Maximum: 999
}Define a temperature increment (±0.1to20°C) under ΔT by which the temperature shall
increase/decrease per cycle.
}Define a time increment (1to240s) under Δt by which the holding time shall increase
per cycle.
}Set the heating and cooling rate precisely in steps of 0.1°C/s under ΔR.
}In order to optimize the annealing temperature, define the temperature gradient in de-
grees by which the block temperature shall increase or decrease from column to column
(mono block) or from row to row (twin block), see below.
}If prompted, confirm your entries. Tap Done. Tap Save to save the program.
Program the temperature gradient (gradient-enabled models)
}Open a program or a program template for editing. Select the annealing step.
}Tap the field for the block temperature. Tap Degrees on the keypad. Or: In the graphical/
spreadsheet view, first tap Edit and then Degrees.
}Tap Lin./Std. to choose between the Linear Gradient Tool and the standard gradient pro-
gramming feature.
