G. Using the Temperature Controllers
Temperature controllers are used to regulate heating of the five bath positions. Each
controller is calibrated at the factory to provide an accurate bath temperature when
operated between 35 to 95°C. The following instructions are general guidelines for
setting temperature(s).
1. Select a bath position (according to your protocol) and turn ON the switch above
the bath to provide power to the temperature controller. The controller will display
both the current (red) and set (green) temperature.
Do not touch the bottom metal surface of the bath during operation. Insert the
bath liner and fill with buffer before turning on power to each bath.
This symbol indicates the potential presence of a Hot Surface. Turn off
the temperature controller and leave sufficient time for cooling or use
heat protection prior to handling a bath.
2. To change the set temperature, press the up or down arrow buttons until the
desired temperature is shown. Allow time for the bath to reach the set
temperature and stabilize.
Refer to section VII. A. Temperature Controller Calibration for information on
calibrating the controllers.

Baths should not be powered on for more than a few seconds without buffer in
the bath inserts. Do not heat dry baths.
