Loading/Un-Loading the Water
Bath
CAUTION
NEVER place your hands near the heating element whilst the Immersion Heater Circulator is heating as serious burns
and scalding could result.
ALWAYS use appropriate tools (such as silicon insulated tongs) to load and unload items from the water to avoid
your hands coming into contact with hot water or the heating element.
CAUTION
If using the bath with a lid, be careful when lifting the lid as steam may be present.
ALWAYS remove the lid at arm’s length with your face away from the bath.
ALWAYS use a safety glove when removing the lid as the lid may be hot enough to cause burns or other injury.
NEVER remove the lid with your face directly over the bath. Steam may be present and burns or injury could result.
Be careful when working with hot items removed from the bath as burns or scalding may occur if contact occurs.
Always wear eye protection when loading or unloading items from a hot water bath.
Do not use explosive or volatile containers with this Immersion Heater Circulator.
Ensure all containers remain tightly sealed at all times whilst loading and unloading the water bath.
Only use containers suitable for the water temperature selected.
-
When loading, use appropriate tools (such as silicon insulated tongs) to slowly place the required rack, container
or accessory into the bath. Ensure the item will not tip over and will not float. If containers will not stand securely
or will float, a suitable rack or tray should be used which will prevent the container from floating or tipping over.
-
When unloading, use appropriate tools (such as silicon insulated tongs) to slowly remove the items and place
them onto a water-proof and heat-proof surface.
-
Continue to load or unload your containers, racks or accessories until complete.
Switching Off The Immersion Heater
Circulator

Although the heating system may now be inactive, the residual heat in the heating element may be sufficient to
cause serious burns or scalding.
The residual water temperature may also be sufficient to cause burns or scalding.
Allow at least 10 minutes after switching off the heating system to allow the heating element to cool.
Allow the water temperature to reach ambient room temperature before proceeding to empty the water bath.
Unplug the Immersion Heater Circulator from the mains power supply outlet and remove it from the water bath
before emptying. Consult the water bath user manual for instructions on safely emptying the bath.
