5.1 Operation
1.
Plug the Slide Warmer into an electrical outlet and turn on the power switch on the side of
the machine. The LED temperature display will turn on letting you know the machine is on
and is working.
2.
Press the temperature “SET” button (#2) to see the current temperature setting.
3.
Set the desired temperature (shown
in degrees Celsius) by using the “▲” or “▼”
(temperature control) buttons (#1). The setting will appear in the LED temperature display
(#3).
4.
Once you have entered your desired temperature setting push the temperature “SET” button
(#2). This will
show the actual temperature of the heating surface.
5.
Temperature range is from room temperature to 75
˚C
±
2˚C.
6.
Place slides flat on the Slide Warmer surface to help warm more efficiently.
6.1 Troubleshooting
Calibration testing:
Turn the Slide Warmer on and allow it to warm up for 15 minutes. Then use a surface or infrared
thermometer to measure the average temperature between the edge of the heating surface and its
center. If the difference between the measured average temperature and the temperature shown
on the LED temperature display is more than 5°C, the Slide Warmer needs to be recalibrated.
How to recalibrate
:
1)
Adjust the difference between average surface temperature and displayed temperature:
Press and hold the “SET” button for 3 seconds. The LED temperature display will show “Sc”.
Press the “SET” button again and you will see the recalibration value begin to flash in the LED
temperature display. This value can be adjusted so that the LED temperature display value and
the measured average temperature of the heating surface are the same (the default value is 0.0).
