Inserting and Removing Heating Station Adapters

Removing Adapters

Allow heating stations to cool before removing adapters from the
SmartPrep. Always use the adapter-removal tool provided in the Adapter
Option Kit when removing adapters. The adapters may become hot
enough to cause severe burns.
It is best to allow heating stations to cool before removing adapters. If the heat-
ing stations are not cool, use caution when removing heating station adapters.
1. Press the extended portion of the adapter-removal tool, then insert it into the
adapter until it touches the bottomof the heating station (illustrated here out-
side of the heating station to show detail).
2. Release the extended portion so that it will spring outward. Then rotate the
tool until its tab engages the hole on the side of the adapter.
