INSTALLATION

Upon receiving the VWR Dylastir/Dylatherm/Dyla-Dual, check to ensure that no damage
has occurred in shipment. It is important that any damage that occurred in transport
is detected at the time of unpacking. If you do find such damage the carrier must be
notified immediately.

After unpacking, place the Dyla Series unit on a level bench or table, away from
explosive vapors. Ensure that the surface on which the unit is placed will withstand
typical heat produced by the unit and place the unit a minimum of six (6) inches from
vertical surfaces. Always place the unit on a sturdy work surface.

The Dyla Series unit is supplied with a 3-prong power cord that should be plugged into
a standard 3-prong grounded outlet. If the cord supplied does not meet your needs,
please use an approved power cord that suits local codes and electric supply.
Replacement of the plug must be made by a qualified electrician.
