5. Operation
The temperature of filled liquid paraffin must not be greater than 70 °C to prevent damage to the
thermal fuse.
Change the delay time only if you are absolutely sure that the entered time is correct.
If the instrument attempts to run a paraffin step with paraffin that is not completely melted,
substantial faults and malfunctions may result.
