Fluid Level 

Do not operate the bath with low fluid level. 
 

When the fluid level is too low, bath fluid will vaporize 
leading to toxic and flammable fumes.  

 
Flammable fumes can lead to fire 
 
Flammable  fumes can be ignited  by the  not submersed 
part of the heating element. 
 
The level indicator(optional) will start to blink (white light) 
when the fluid level is too low. 
 

When  the  bath  has  been  installed  it  must  be  filled 
with an appropriate liquid. When working with water 
the bath should be filled to 1 cm below the lid. For oil 
the bath should be filled to not more than 5 cm below 
the lid. Depending on the operating temperature the 
liquid  level  in  the  bath  should  be  observed  and 
excessive fluid should be removed.  

 
The  liquid  level  should  be  maintained  between  1  and  3 
cm below the lid during normal operation.  
 
The  heating  element  will  be  damaged  when  not  fully 
submerged  in  the  bath  fluid.  A  lower  level  than  5  cm 
below the lid may damage the heaters. A high bath level 
can  cause  overflow  and  might  also  damage  the  bath 
insulation. 
 
 

Low fluid level  

Can  cause  fire  when  heater  gets  partially 

exposed 

Will damage the heater 

 

6.7 

Fluid Level Detect 

 
Level detection is available as an option. When the fluid 
level becomes too low an audible alarm is triggered.
