The display will show "888" and then "000".
  • Page 15: To Achieve Fast Heat-Up Of Large Volumes

    PERATION To Achieve Fast Heat-up of Large Volumes With a Probe When heating large volumes of solution preheat the top plate at maximum temperature to allow the plate to heat the solution quickly before plugging your probe in to the probe receptacle in the back of the unit.
