not 

not be moved for storage. If you wish to keep dust and 

dirt out of the water tank, the supplied plastic cover can be fitted for short periods of time to filled 
water baths (maximum 48 hours).

If the water bath is clean and dry, the plastic cover can be used indefinitely to keep dust and dirt out 
of the water tank. 

 
-

 

Before fitting the plastic cover, ensure that the water tank is either empty, or if filled, ensure the water 
temperature is back to ambient room temperature before fitting the cover.  

 

-

 

To fit the cover, simply slide the cover over the control end of the bath first, and then the opposing 
end until the whole water bath is covered. 

 

-

 

Ensure the water bath is stored in a clean and dry location away from potential damage by accidental 
knocks and bumps.

Be careful when lifting and observe your local operational health and safety requirements for lifting 
before relocating the water bath. Ask for help if you are unable to move the water bath by yourself.

CAUTION

CAUTION

CAUTION    
Do not fit the plastic cover if the bath is filled with heated water. The heated water will cause 
condensation on the plastic cover, which can in-turn damage the electrical circuits of the water bath and 
potentially create a hazardous situation.  
 
The cover should only be fitted to either a dry empty water bath, or a bath filled with ambient 
temperature water (for a maximum of 48 hours when filled with water).

Routine Cleaning And Maintenance    

 
To maintain the water bath in good, safe working order and ensure maximum product lifespan, regular cleaning and 
general maintenance is required. The water bath should be cleaned at least once every month for a unit being used on a 
daily basis, for infrequently used water baths a cleaning frequency of once every 3 months is recommended. On each 
occasion, the general maintenance routine should be employed following cleaning with the exception of the over-
temperature safety cutout test which need only be conducted every 2 years of normal operation.
