The water bath provides a simple-to-operate user interface when used in conjunction with this User Manual. 
  
If at any stage, you are presented with an abnormal condition (anything other than the current temperature or temperature 
set-point once the water bath has completed it’s startup procedure) being displayed on the LCD temperature display 
(element 3 in Figure 1), this may indicate a fault condition. If the oscillating cradle fails to operate, or any other control or 
indicator on the water bath fails to operate as per this User Manual, this may indicate a fault condition.  
 
The equipment is fitted with a replaceable mains safety fuse. If the replaceable mains fuse has operated, no power will be 
made available to the control systems and no controls will activate. This may indicate an electrical fault. In such cases the 
replacement fuse (as specified in the technical specifications of this User Manual) should be fitted only by an authorized 
service agent once they have tested and inspected the water bath. Under no circumstances should the user or operator 
replace the safety fuse. 
 
Fault conditions must be referred to an authorized service technician immediately and the equipment should be 
unplugged from the mains power supply socket. 
 
Make a written note of any displayed error codes and contact Ratek using the contact details provided in the section of 
this User Manual titled “Ratek Service Contact Information” if you believe your equipment is exhibiting a fault condition.
