5.4. 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!
Check the temperature of the bath fluid prior to draining (by switching the unit on for
a short moment, for example).
Always turn off the unit and disconnect the mains cable from the power source
before cleaning the unit, or before moving the unit.
Store and dispose the used bath fluid according to the laws for environmental
protection.
