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.

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
