4. Operation
4.1 Controls and Indicator Lamp
The Power Switch controls power to the unit.
The heater lamp is on continuously while the bath is heating up. As the required
temperature is approached, it starts to flash. When the bath is controlling at the set
temperature, the heater lamp flashes intermittently.
4.2 Setting the Temperature
To increase bath temperature, rotate the thermostat knob in the clockwise direction. To
decrease bath temperature, rotate the thermostat knob in the counterclockwise direction.
Allow about 60 minutes for the bath to equilibrate from a cold start. A thermometer may
be used to check exact bath temperature. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for the bath to re-
equilibrate when adjusting the bath temperature from a previous set point. If the bath is
to be operated at the same temperature in the future, the thermostat setting should not be
disturbed. Just turn the bath off using the On/Off switch.
