Filling / draining
Notice:
• Pay attention to the thermal expansion of bath oil during heating to avoid
overflowing of the liquid.
• Do not drain the bath fluid while it is hot!
Recommendation: Temperature range 5 °C to 40 °C
Check the temperature of the bath fluid prior to draining (by switching the unit on
for a short moment, for example).
• Store and dispose the used bath fluid according to the laws for environmental
protection.
Filling
Take care that no liquid enters the interior of the circulator.
• Recommended maximum filling level with water as bath fluid:
30 mm below the tank rim
• Recommended maximum filling level with bath oils:
40 mm below the tank rim
After filling, immerse the samples in the bath or place the lid on
the bath, in case the opening is not to be used.
The circulator provides an early warning system for low level that
may be triggered when changing samples in the bath.
Draining
• Turn off the circulator and cooling machine.
• Hold the venting grid, pull out and remove.
• Slide a short piece of tube onto the drain port and hold it into a
pail.
• Unscrew the drain tap (19) and empty the unit completely.
• Tighten the drain tap.
