After the selection of the memory location, the drop icon will flash in the upper side of the display.
The user can select one out of three heat-up speeds.
Standard heat-up mode
This is the default mode which is suitable for most sample types.
In this heat-up mode, 120 °C are reached
after approx. 4 minutes
.
Quick heat-up mode
This mode is suitable for samples with a high moisture content.
In this heat-up mode, 120 °C are reached
after approx. 1 minute
.
ATTENTION:
When using this heat-up mode, there might be increased temperatures in the
drying chamber for a short period as the sensor and the control need some time to regulate the
temperature.
Slow heat-up mode
This mode is suitable for samples with a low moisture content.
In this heat-up mode, 120 °C are reached
after approx. 8 minutes
.
ATTENTION:
When using this heat-up mode, it is particularly important that the drying time of the
sample is adapted to the drying mode as otherwise the drying process could be terminated (time
expired) although there is still some residual moisture in the sample.
You can select the desired heat-up mode using the arrow keys
