Electrical installation
Before connection please read and
understand this manual and ensure that
the line supply is suitable. This water bath
requires a supply rated at 230V, 50 or
60Hz, single phase, ~.
Power consumption is 1300W.
THIS INSTRUMENT MUST BE EARTHED
The unit is supplied with two mains leads fitted
with IEC plugs for connection to the instrument.
One has a U.K. 3 pin plug and the other has a 2
pin “Shuko” plug for connection to the mains.
Choose the lead appropriate for your electrical
installation and discard the other.
Should neither lead be suitable, take the lead
with the U.K. plug and replace the plug with a
suitable alternative. This involves cutting off the
moulded plug, preparing the cable and
connecting to the rewireable plug in accordance
with its instructions.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS OPERATION
SHOULD ONLY BE UNDERTAKEN BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
The wires in the mains cable are coloured as
follows:
BROWN - LIVE
BLUE - NEUTRAL
GREEN/YELLOW - EARTH
The unit is fitted with an IEC socket at the rear of
the instrument for connection of the mains lead.
The appropriate mains lead should be connected
BEFORE connection to the mains supply.
Should the mains lead need replacement a cable
of 1mm
2
of harmonised code H05W-F connected
to an IEC 320 plug should be used.
N.B. The UK mains lead is protected by a 10A
fuse mounted in the plug top.

Safety Advice Before Use
❖
Before use please read and understand this
manual and familiarise yourself with the
layout of the controls – see figure 1.
❖
If the mains supply is interrupted the unit will
restart with its current settings on the
restoration of the electricity supply.
❖
Switch off when not in use.
❖
Position the instrument on a firm level surface
away from any heat sensitive or flammable
material.
❖
Do not use the instrument with flammable
liquids or in a hazardous atmosphere.
❖
Never move or carry the instrument until it
has been switched off and allowed to cool.
Heating
Fill the stainless steel bowl to the required level
with cold water. To avoid scale build up and the
necessity for cleaning it is recommended that the
bowl be filled with distilled or deionised water.
N.B. The maximum capacity of the bath is 3.5
litres and it should not be filled to within less
than 2cm from the top of the bowl.
Set the control knob to the desired temperature
and switch on the mains switch to position I - the
green pilot light in the switch will illuminate – see
figure 1.
The water bath is thermostatically controlled and
will maintain the water at the set temperature.
Please note that the temperature scale is nominal
and is provided for guidance only. For accurate
temperature control, ±5°C, the control knob
should be calibrated against a calibrated
temperature probe in the water.
The bath may contain water at
temperatures up to 95°C. The bath
should not be moved when the water
is hot.
When the water reaches the set temperature the
set temperature indicator (the red light on the
fascia panel) will illuminate – see figure 1.
