by switching the unit off and on again. 
If unit still shows a “Cut” alarm then the unit has an 
internal fault and must be repaired before it is used 
again. 
Temperature 
does not rise 
when expected 
Set temp is lower 
than liquid temp 
 
Set temperature is 
too close to ambient 
Check that the bath set temperature is correct (see 
section 5.2.3). 
 
Increase the set temperature (see section 5.2.3) 
Temp continues 
to rise when not 
expected 
Set temp is higher 
than liquid temp 
 
Check that the bath set temperature is correct (see
