(Frequently Asked Questions)
NOTE: If the appliance is operated without water, the
concealed heating element may be subjected to damage
and may no longer heat up the tank even though power
is "ON". If heating element becomes damaged, it will
have to be replaced.
--------------------------------------
I filled my Water Bath with water, plugged it in, turned
it "ON" (power switch is not illuminated), the
Temperature Controller display is not illuminated, and
the unit is not heating up the water.
Mains circuit breaker may have "tripped". Reset the
power mains circuit breaker. Plug the Water Bath into a
G.F.C.I. protected electrical receptacle. Do not plug in
any other devices or appliances to the same receptacle
the Water Bath is using.
Equipment Circuit Protection fuse(s) may have "blown".
Check fuse(s) for electrical continuity using a Multi-Meter
(combination Volt, Ampere, & Ohm meter). Replace
fuse(s) if necessary. Be sure to use the correct fuse size
& type. Refer to the Repair Parts section of this manual.
Electrical component(s) such as power inlet, fuse
holders, fuse carriers, power switch, quick disconnect
terminals, wire connectors, wiring, etc. may have
become faulty. A qualified electrical technician should
perform an electrical continuity inspection of the entire
electrical system using a Multi-Meter to identify possibly
bad electrical component(s). Replace electrical
component(s) as required.
--------------------------------------
My Water Bath temperature raises and lowers by itself?
The Water Bath is provided with an Over-Temp
thermostat. If the operating thermostat fails the
temperature will rise. When a temperature of 102°C
(215°F) is achieved the over-temp thermostat will open
the circuit and the temperature will drop to 82°C (180°F),
then rise again. This cycle will continue until the
operating thermostat is replaced.
The appliance will require a qualified technician to turn
over the unit; carefully remove the bottom cover by
removing the mounting screws. The technician will
troubleshoot and/or replace the operating thermostat.
The heating element should be visually and electrically
inspected to ensure that it is still in good, proper working
condition. Make sure the heating element did not
delaminate from the underside of the tank. Make sure
the heating element still has electrical continuity by
checking circuit with a Multi-Meter. Check that the
heating element does not have dark discolored spots,
which may indicate that the element has burned.

& TROUBLESHOOTING
Before reassembling, be sure to perform a visual and
electrical inspection of the rest of the electrical system.
Make certain all other electrical components are in good,
working condition. Replace any components that appear
to be burned or have become faulty.
--------------------------------------
How do I adjust the temperature on the Water Bath?
Follow the detailed instructions in the SET-UP
INSTRUCTIONS, "Item #8 - Changing the temperature
on your Water Bath". This will explain in detail how to
adjust the temperature.
--------------------------------------
How do I know what to adjust the temperature to?
Refer to splint material manufacturer for recommended
temperature & duration of splint material used.
--------------------------------------
How long will it take for my Water Bath to reach the
adjusted temperature?
Allow 60 to 75 minutes for the appliance to reach
temperature. Keep Lid closed to ensure quickest heat-up
and to maintain set point temperature.
--------------------------------------
How do I open the lid more than 90º?
Make sure unit is unplugged and all water is drained
from the tank. Take an adjustable wrench and
screwdriver and remove the 2 screws and nuts from the
lid stay on the underside of the lid. Remove the lid stay
and reinstall the screws and nuts in the lid. Follow this
procedure for both sides.
Remove the hinge stays from the pins located in the
tank. Make sure to reinsert the screws.
This will allow the lid to open past 90º and keep the lid in
an upright position. Please keep these parts as they can
be used to reassemble the lid stays to the lid if a partially
open lid is again warranted.
