5. Operation
Indication of the heating intervals
In the display field for the temperature ranges, the LED for the set tempera-
ture will always be lit. While heating for the area in question is active, the
LED flashes as long as heating continues.
It is possible to deactivate the heating activity display (and thereby the
flashing).
Proceed as follows:
• Switch off the instrument with the standby switch ( , not ON/OFF).
• Hold down the WORK AREA button and switch the instrument on again
with the standby switch.
• To return to the "flashing" mode, switch off the instrument with standby
switch as described under 1.
Hold down the PARAFFIN DISPENSER button when switching back on.
Press the buttons for the temperature range once
to increase the value by 5 K. The red LED for the
associated temperature value will light up – after
70 °C has been reached, the temperature will
revert to 55 °C.
Once set, the temperature value for one range
will be retained until it is changed.

ing areas can be adjusted separately from 55 °C
to 70 °C in 5 K increments.
