Modifying of program-parameter temperature, time and warming

Press the corresponding key (several times) for the wished program.
Press Key several times. There are blinking one after the other sterilization-temperature, strerilisation time and in the case

from „AGAR “or „DISSOL “–program also the warmly-hold-temperature (warming in the programs „LIQ. “and „SOLIDLY“is not
possible).

Press key to change about the dialed blinking parameter, (possible areas you see at table on the other side).
The alterations become stores automatically after approximately 5 sec..

For security-reasons, all liquid-programs have a removal-temperature of 80°C standard

Modifying

of removal-temperature

Press key 3 times in order to reach into the attitudes for the removal-temperature
in the right upper ad appears „F3 “, the temperature-ad blinks

Press key until the wished removal-temperature (°C) presses is reached(possible areas you see at table on the other side).
The alterations become stored automatically after approximately 5 sec..

Advice: 80°C removal-temperatures with liquids in closed gl ass-receptacles
90°C removal-temperatures with liquids in closed p lastic-receptacles
95°C removal-temperatures with liquids in open ves sels

Modifiing of Exhaust-level and fast-cooling

Select program by pressing ( several times) the respective key.
Press key left or key right till needed Exhaust level is shown (Be careful with liquids, they can boil over if exhaust is to fast.
