CAUTION
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 tank.
Emptying The Water Tank
CAUTION
Important:
Do not empty the water tank while the water is hot as burns or scalding may result. Allow the water temperature
to reach ambient room temperature before proceeding to empty the water tank.
-
Ensure the water heating has been turned off by pushing the On/Off mains power switch (element 6 in Figure 1) up to the
position marked with a circle.
-
Unplug the equipment from the mains power supply outlet.
-
Remove all containers, racks and accessories from the water tank and place them in a safe place.
-
Remove the mesh platform.
-
If emptying the water into another container, ensure the container is placed below the level of the water bath on a firm,
hard, flat surface.
-
If emptying into a sink or drain, ensure you have clear and unobstructed access to it.
-
If the bath is fitted with a drain tap (models WB1100D & WB1700D) ensure you have a large enough container to hold all
of the water you wish to empty. A 10 mm internal diameter hose may be fitted.
- Important:
The tap handle may be warm if the bath has been used at high temperatures and should be allowed to cool
before emptying. Keeping your hands away from the drain outlet, slowly turn the tap handle to the open position on the
front panel and allow the water to empty as indicated below. Gently lift the rear of the bath to assist with final draining.
Close the tap once the water flow stops.
-
To empty all remaining water, the water bath should be lifted in accordance with any local operational health and safety
guidelines in place.
-
The water must be emptied towards the
rear right corner
to avoid water splashing near the power inlet. Slowly increase
the lift angle of the bath until all water has emptied from the tank.
-
Slowly lower the water bath back down to the flat surface until it is fully supported by the surface before letting go. Do not
drop the water bath.
-
Allow the remaining water to evaporate, or use a soft dry cloth to dry around the water bath water tank.
