Turn the cover knob fully counterclockwise (see Figure 3-5). This
should be done whenever you move the heated cover to ensure
that the heated plate underneath is filly raised.
Slide the heated cover away from you.
Locate an empty sample tray and orient it so that the cutout in the
lower rim is on the left side. Place the tray in the sample block.
Move the heated cover forward to cover the sample compartment to
safeguard against burns. No samples are loaded in the tray so
leave the cover knob fully counterclockwise . This keeps the plate
raised above the tray since no samples will be heated.
