The maximum water depth is 35 millimetres below the tank rim. This level is just beneath the cradle 
wheels support rail and you should use this rail as a guide. 
 
The minimum filling level is 30 millimetres above the bottom of the oscillating cradle, or approximately 50 
millimetres from the bottom of the water tank. 
 
If the water level falls below this minimum level during operation, the water bath should be powered off, 
disconnected from the mains electrical supply and the water level topped up with cold water. Be aware 
that this will result in the rapid decrease in the water bath water temperature and the effect of this in 
relation to the current procedure being carried out must be considered. 
 
No liability will be accepted if in the normal course of operation the contents of the containers being 
heated and oscillated are damaged due to insufficient water levels or inappropriate temperatures being 
applied as a result of re-filling.

The water bath should be filled by slowly pouring cold water (below 25° Celsius) into the end of the 
water bath furthest from the control panel, initially to 50% of the desired water level.

Place the empty container/s to be used in the appropriate rack or tray and submerge in the water to 
gauge the displacement created by the containers.

The equipment must only be used with a protective earth power socket. The earth contact provides 
protection to the user and the equipment. If you do not have a protective earth power socket, or you are 
unsure as to whether you have a protective earth power socket, do not

do not connect the equipment. In such 

cases you should consult your workplace administrator or electrical maintenance staff to determine if a 
protective earth power socket is available. 
 
The mains power supply must be rated to match the power requirement as identified on the product 
identification label on the bottom left corner of the rear panel. This is normally expressed in the format of

household appliances such as fridges, clothes dryers, washing machines or other continuous operation 
high voltage devices. These types of devices can create power fluctuations that are undesirable for 
sensitive medical equipment. Consult your workplace administrator or electrical maintenance staff if you 
are unsure.
