Instructions for Operation and Care of Water Bath SP-1600-D-B
--------------------------------------
I filled my Water Bath with water to the prescribed
water level, plugged it in, turned it "ON" (power switch
is illuminated), and the Temperature Controller display
is illuminated but the unit is not heating up the water.
If the appliance is operated without water, the concealed
heating element may be subjected to damage and may
no longer heat up the tank even though power is "ON". If
heating element becomes damaged, it will have to be
replaced.
Equipment Circuit Protection fuse(s) may have "blown".
Check fuse(s) for electrical continuity using a Multi-Meter
(Comb. Volt, Ampere, & Ohm meter). Replace fuse(s) if
necessary. Be sure to use the correct fuse size & type.
Refer to the Repair Parts section of the manual.
Electrical component(s) such as power inlet, fuse
holders, fuse carriers, power switch, quick disconnect
terminals, wire connectors, wiring, etc. may have
become faulty. A qualified electrical technician should
perform an electrical continuity inspection of the entire
electrical system using a Multi-Meter to identify possibly
bad electrical component(s). Replace electrical
component(s) as required.
--------------------------------------
The Water Bath is provided with an Over-Heating
Temperature Limiting Sensor as a safety feature. If the
operating thermostat fails the temperature will rise.
When a temperature of 215°F (102°C) is achieved the
over-temp thermostat will open the circuit and the
temperature will drop to 180°F (82°C), then rise again.
This cycle will continue until the operating thermostat is
replaced.
Mains circuit breaker may have "tripped". Reset the
Power Mains circuit breaker. Plug in the Water Bath to a
G.F.C.I. protected electrical receptacle. Do not plug in
any other devices or appliances to the same receptacle
the Water Bath is using.
I filled my Water Bath with water, plugged it in, turned
it "ON" (power switch and Temperature Controller
display are not illuminated) and the unit is not heating
up the water.
The appliance will require a qualified technician to turn
over the unit; carefully remove the bottom cover by
removing the mounting screws. The technician will
troubleshoot and/or replace the operating thermostat.
My Water Bath was "ON" because the Power Switch &
Temperature Controller were illuminated "ON". The
water level inside tank went very low (nearly empty) or
evaporated out completely from the appliance. The
appliance turned "OFF" on its own and cannot be
switched "ON" at the power switch.
Remove the hinge stays from the pins located in the
tank. Make sure to reinsert the screws.

How long will it take for my Water Bath to reach the
set point temperature?
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
The heating element should be visually and electrically
inspected to ensure that it is still in good, proper working
condition. Make sure the heating element did not
delaminate from the underside of the tank. Make sure
the heating element still has electrical continuity by
checking circuit with a Multi-Meter. Check that the
heating element does not have dark discolored spots,
which may indicate that the element has burned.
Refer to splint material manufacturer for recommended
temperature & duration of splint material used.
How do I open the lid more than 90º?
Make sure unit is unplugged and all water is drained
from the tank. Take an adjustable wrench and
screwdriver and remove the 2 screws and nuts from the
lid stay on the underside of the lid. Remove the lid stay
and reinstall the screws and nuts in the lid. Follow this
procedure for both sides.
The numerical value displayed on the controller display
will be the same as the set point temperature or very
near to the set point temperature. Please allow +/- 3º F
temperature variance.
Before reassembling, be sure to perform a visual and
electrical inspection on the rest of the electrical system.
Make certain all other electrical components are in good,
working condition. Replace any components that appear
to be burned or have become faulty.
Allow 60 to 75 minutes for the appliance to reach set
point temperature. Keep lid closed to ensure quickest
heat-up and to maintain set point temperature.

point temperature?

This will allow the lid to open
past 90º and keep the lid in
an upright position. Please
keep these parts as they can
be used to reassemble the
lid stays to the lid if a partially
open lid is again warranted.
