General Description
Safety
• High and Low Temperature Limits
The high temperature limit of the top plate is set to 350°C to protect
you and your media. However, you can set your own high and low
temperature limits to reduce operation time and also to avoid
inadvertent mistakes.
If the temperature of the top plate exceeds the set temperature
range, the heater will be automatically turned on and off and the
Heater LED will be turned on and off accordingly.
• Multiple Overheat Prevention Measures
Built-in overheat prevention circuit will turn off the heater if the plate
temperature reaches 450°Cfor any reason. In addition, if the
temperature of the main body exceeds 85°C the overheat prevention
circuit also stops heating to protect the motor and the PCB. You will
be alerted by both audible and visible signals will be activated.
In such cases, turn off the power switch and disconnect the power
cord first. Allow your unit to cool down completely before operating it
again.
• Hot Top Warning Indicator
The top plate temperature can remain very hot for some time even
after the heater is turned off. To prevent injury or fire under such
circumstances, this equipment has a hot top warning indicator on
the control panel. This indicator will illuminate if the top plate
temperature is over 50°C. Even so, do not rely on this indicator
alone for your safety.
• Heating Bath (Patent Pending, , optional)
A specially designed non-slip heating bath shown above is
available. (optional) To prevent unintentional slips of the bath during
operation, this bath has concavo-convex bottom so that it fits
snuggly on top of the heating plate.
