Replace the mains power lead if you suspect it has been stretched, over-extended or damaged in any
way.
-
Using the supplied mains power lead, insert the socket end of the lead firmly into the mains power
input receptacle (element 10 in Figure 1) until it will move no further.
-
Insert the plug end of the mains power supply lead firmly into a properly rated, protective earthed wall
mounted power supply outlet.
If there are double-adapters or oversized DC power packs causing obstruction of the mains power lead
plug, these should first be removed.
-
Ensuring your hands are dry, switch on the power on the mains power supply outlet.

CAUTION
Ensure you have filled the water bath to at least the minimum required level before switching on power
to the heating system. Failure to do so may create a hazardous situation that can cause burns, scalding
and create a fire risk.
-
The water heating control circuit will retain the last used temperature set-point set on the control
panel, so for many applications it will only ever need to be set once.
-
Before switching on the water heating, determine the temperature you wish to operate the bath at.
-
If you wish to heat your containers from ambient temperature, you should load the cradle with a
suitable rack, tray and containers prior to switching on the heating system, see the section titled
“Loading the Water Bath” below.
-
If you wish to add your containers to warm or hot water, this should be done with extreme care once
the temperature of the water bath has stabilized.
-
Once you are ready to begin heating the water, switch the Heating On/Off mains power switch
(element 8 in Figure 1) down to the position marked with a vertical line. The Heating On/Off mains
power switch (element 8 in Figure 1) will light up red to indicate the heating system is active.
-
The heating control system will begin its startup, after several seconds the LCD temperature display
(element 3 in Figure 1) will read the current water temperature in degrees Celsius.
-
If the last set temperature is greater than the current water temperature, the Heating Element
Indicator (element 7 in Figure 1) will light up and either flash to indicate intermittent heating or remain
lit constantly to indicate constant heating.

CAUTION
The heating element is the round disc visible in the bottom of the water tank, directly underneath the
oscillating cradle.
Once the Heating Element Indicator (element 7 in Figure 1) is lit, the heating element is active and the
surface of the element will remain extremely hot whilst heating and for many minutes even after power
to the unit has been disconnected. Once the Heating Element Indicator has lit, under no circumstances
should you place any part of your body near the bottom of the water tank. The residual heat of the
element creates a hazardous situation sufficient to cause burns or scalding if contact with the element
is made.

When the temperature is being set, the LCD temperature display (element 3 in Figure 1) will
temporarily read the temperature set-point value that the operator is adjusting.
