3 Operating instructions
• Make sure the voltage marked on the hot plate corresponds with the
one available from the main supply.
• Connect the hot plate to the power supply. In certain countries the
plug might need to be changed by a technician into a plug which fits
the electrical socket.
• Set the thermostat to the required temperature.
Recommended temperature for bearings is 110°C (230°F).
• Turn the unit on by pressing the ON/OFF switch. Main pilot lamp will
light up (green)
• The second pilot lamp (red) is lit while the hot plate is being heated
but switches off as soon as the selected temperature has been reached.
