(PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING)
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Boekel Digital Dry Bath Incubators are designed to be used with standard aluminum dry blocks (nominally 3” x 3¾” x 2” high) of varying configurations for heating test tubes, microtubes and other small vessels. These Incubators are available in two sizes; Model 113002 has a two block capacity and Model 113004 has a four block capacity. Both have an easily programmed PID (proportional integrative derivative) controller for rapid heat-up and accurate temperature control.
The Boekel Dry Baths have recently been redesigned with a sleeker, more aesthetically pleasing appearance and an upgraded controller. The 113002 is a direct replacement for 111002 two block capacity unit. The 113004 directly replaces the 111004. The Hot Start Dry Bath Model 111007 has been discontinued, but the 113002 can be purchased with the new 110096 block (designed to hold a 96 well PCR plate) to provide a more versatile version of the Model 111007.

3.Place any standard block into the dry bath incubator.
4.When using the Dry Bath Incubator to heat microscope slides or 96-well plates, some form of well cover or lid (non-flammable) should be used.
OPERATION
1.Turn the “Power switch ON (-). Ambient “Target Temperature" will be displayed on the digital readout.
2.The unit will automatically begin heating to the temperature last programmed in the unit. The unit retains its’ last programmed temperature in the event of accidental power loss or deliberate power down.
SETTING TEMPERATURE
The temperature controller has three buttons. When the button on the left is depressed, it will display the “Target Temperature”. When the left button is depressed simultaneously with the middle button, “Target Temperature” value is lowered. When the left button is depressed simultaneously with the button on the right, the “Target Temperature” is increased. When all buttons are released, actual block temperature is displayed.
In the event of power loss, the Temperature Controller retains the last "Target Temperature" value. The flickering green dot in the upper left corner of the Controller Display is the heat indicator light.
Allow time for temperature to re-stabilize after setting or resetting the temperature. 20 minutes should be allowed for block stabilization at high temperatures.
CLEANING
1.Turn unit off and disengage power cord before performing any cleaning.
2.The well interior, top and sides of the unit can be cleaned using a damp sponge. Allow to dry thoroughly before restarting unit.
