1. Open the lid and temporarily remove the platform.
2. Make sure that the drain check valve is closed.
NOTE:
As you add water, do not allow the water to splash or flow into the recessed
middle of the pan, where the bearing housing assembly is mounted. Pour
water very slowly into the shallow area beyond the edge of the spill cover to
protect the bearing housing.
3. Accessing the pan/reservoir from the left, the right or in front of the spill cover,
slowly fill the reservoir with no more than 3 liters of distilled water. A long, narrow
watering can or a flexible hose will make it easier to access the pan while protecting
the bearing housing from accidental overflow.
At a 37°C setpoint, the chamber loses approximately 500 mL/hr from the pan.
At a 25°C setpoint, and placed in a 25°C room, the chamber achieves a relative humidity
equilibrium that is approximately 15% above the ambient humidity.
6.10 Draining the Water Reservoir
To drain water from the water reservoir/spill pan:
1. Attach the quick-connect drain fitting, direct it to a container or drain, and allow the
water to gravity drain.
2. When the reservoir is empty, detach the fitting.
The spill pan/water reservoir drain is located in the front, on the left, under the humidity
tray.
