Operator instructions
When the Grant digital bath power is turned on and the bath is full of liquid, the
following screens will display alternately.
When the water temperature is at or above the temperature set, the message “Temp
OK” will display.
To immediately start the cycle using the already set cleaning parameters, press the 
key.
The Grant digital bath remembers the set parameters from the previous cycle. If the
operator wants to run the same cleaning cycle, it is therefore not necessary to run
through the menu each time.

When the Grant digital ultrasonic bath power is turned on and the liquid level is too
low, the following screen will display.
The level sensor can be disabled for specialist cleaning applications where deionised
(DI) water is used (see page 19).
When the bath is filled with liquid to the correct level, you will be given the option to
degas (see page 25).
By choosing YES, your Grant digital ultrasonic bath will run an automatic degas cycle.
The following screen will display.
The degassing process is to remove all bubbles from the water as these impede the
cleaning performance. Once all of the bubbles have come to the surface, complete the
degassing cycle by pressing the key.
Note: If the machine detects low liquid level for more than 5 seconds, it is assumed
that the bath has been filled with fresh water, and you will be given the option of
running a degas cycle.
