How to operate
Power Lamp
Temperature Dial
1. Pour adequate water (3000ml for BM100, 5000ml for BM200) into the tank, and place a thermometer
in the holder.
2. Connect the unit securely to a power source with AC100V. Never fail to ground the unit. Then set the
temperature dial to the temperature to operate and turn on the power switch. The power lamp is lit
when the power is on.
3. The temperature scale shows an approxim ate figure. When the temperatur e rises close to the set
point, read the thermometer to adjust the temperature. Since there are some differences from the set
point the first time, check if the current temperature accords with the degree to operate.
This unit does not have a stirring function and the tank tem perature varies . We recomm end you to use
any stirrer (our Lab. Stirrer etc.,) together with this unit.
Operation after Restoration from Power Failure
After restoration from power failure, the unit will re-start operation up to the temperature last set.
