The green POWER LED will be illuminated. • The display briefly illuminates all message segments and then displays the heater block temperature. • Select the temperature according to the specific digestion procedure. • Press the START button to start the heating mode. The yellow HEATING LED will illuminate. • The display will show the current temperature of the heating block and the set temperature.
MAINTENANCE WARRANTY The reactor should be kept clean and any reagent spills should be wiped up immediately. Do not touch the heater block unless you are certain it has cooled. If some reagent accidentally spills into the heater block, disconnect power and allow the reactor to cool; then remove all tubes and clean the block. Should overheating occur, the reactor automatically shuts down, and all LED indicators turn off. Contact your dealer or your nearest Hanna Service Center for maintenance.
