The Power Switch controls power to the unit.
The Heat Indicator is on continuously while the oven is heating up.
As the required temperature is approached, it starts to flash. When
the unit is controlling at the set temperature, the heater lamp
flashes intermittently.
The Temperature Display shows the chamber temperature in
degrees Celsius.
4.2 Preparing the unit
Switch the unit on (I) and set the PID Controller to the desired
operating temperature. Although the unit heats rapidly, you may
want to first pre-heat the unit to the desired operating temperature
before incubating samples. If a humid chamber is desired, fill each
of the eight humidity wells with 0.1ml of distilled water.
4.3 Loading the unit
Place slide samples on the land areas of the heat plate. Place the
tempered glass lid on the gasketed perimeter of the heat chamber.
Secure the glass lid by gently depressing the lid one corner at a
time and rotating the plastic keeper over the lid edge. As you
release the glass lid it will secure itself against the keeper. If water is
being used, you will notice a slight fogging above each well as the
unit generates and maintains the humid environment.
4.4 Removing the samples
Caution! The lid may be hot. Make sure the lid is cool before
attempting to remove keepers. Release lid keepers by again
depressing the lid at each corner and rotating the keeper off the
lid. Remove the glass lid. Caution! The heating plate may be hot.
Allow the heating plate and slides to cool before removing the
slides.
4.5 Setting the Temperature
The temperature controller has three buttons. When the button on
the left, ‘*’, is depressed, the set temperature is displayed. When
the left button ‘*’ is depressed simultaneously with the middle
button ‘’, the set temperature value is lowered. When the left
button ‘*’ is depressed simultaneously with the right button ‘’, the
set temperature value is raised. When all buttons are released, the
actual chamber temperature is displayed.
