2. Set the temperature at 10°C above the ambient and/or the liquid, so that it keeps heating, LED is continuously on;
3. Initiate the temperature control as for normal use, i.e. the pump is circulating and heating is in full capacity;
4. Drain the bath so that the heater and the STB are exposed to the air completely. Make sure no liquid spraying out from the circulating return, dripping from the drain device on the bench or floor;
5. The liquid evaporates immediately from hot surface of the heater. Keep running dry for a couple of seconds until the Stb warning is displayed. Caution, Never run dry for more than 90s!
6. Close the drain device, and fill the tank with water. The STB resets automatically once temperature resumes to below designated limit value.

Caution, Risk of burn hazard and liquid spillage!
Do not touch hot surface of the heater! Keep away from evaporating hot steam! Use protective gloves or glasses if necessary!
Never run dry for more than 90s! Overheating of the coil may damage the heater or degrade its insulation strength!
The first time powering up after repairing or standstill for long period, or at 6 months intervals under normal use, check the functionality of the safety temperature limiter (STB)!

4.3 Checking and replacing the fuse
With the mains plug connected and power switch in “on” position and if no LED and digits display, check the fuse first. If any doubt that checking and replacing fuse is necessary, use a fuse with the same size and capacity as rated and do  as follows:

1. Make sure the mains plug has been removed;
2. Loosen the two screws on the top and 4 screws at the back of the controller as shown in Fig 6- 80. Remove the cove plate and check or replace the fuse;
3. Replace the cover and fasten the six screws.

Do not disassemble or exchange assembly parts and electric circuits! Hazard of possible electric shock!
Except for replacing the fuse, there is no other part necessary for customer to disassemble or repair. If repairing is desired, contact with authorized engineer.
Always remove the mains plug from the power socket when performing checking or replacing the fuse, and never use any fuse different from the original one. Secure the fuse once checked or replaced. For servicing or maintenance, call authorized service engineer.

4.4 Checking and charging of the refrigerated equipment If the compressor
LED is on, while the equipment does not cool down, check function of the refrigerated equipment as follows:

1. Set the operating temperature at 20°C, while keeping the compressor running (for example, the ambient temperature is higher than 25°C while keep the refrigerating running);
2. Check if fresh air intakes and exhausting air leaves freely. Use one piece of A4 size paper and put it over surface of the inlet (Fig 1-3) with ventilating openings for checking intake of the fresh air. If the paper is hold by the intake air,  it is indication of free air movement. Otherwise check the cleanness of the condenser inlet and the function of the condenser fan;
3. After continuous operation of the compressor for about 20 min, check the outlets of the exhausting air. Warm or even hot air flow indicates regular function of the refrigerated equipment. Otherwise there exists a leakage or  malfunction of the refrigerating system;
4. If any doubt that checking and charging of the refrigerating system is necessary, consult an authorized local distributor or engineer!
