performed with the unit running.
1. Press , enter a temperature set point of approximately 50°C, and then allow the bath to stabilize
at that temperature. The amount of time this will take will depend on the size of the bath and the
difference between the initial bath temperature and the Safety Set temperature.
2. Using a small flat blade head screwdriver, slowly rotate the Safety Thermostat located on the rear of
the Temperature Controller counter-clockwise until you hear a soft click; the OVERTEMP or LOW
