Temperature rise button: Increase the displayed value.
Temperature drop button: Decrease the displayed value.

6.2 Operation method

Note: In case of emergency, please unplug the power plug directly.

(1) Preparation: Add distilled water into the bath to an appropriate position (25mm above the box
bottom and 10mm below the box top)

Note:Only distilled water can be used for heating. If other solvents are used due to actual
needs, it may rot the bath. In case of corrosion on the surface of the bath, please replace a new
one immediately.Do not use organic solvents or corrosive solvents.

equipment is in working state and starts heating. The display screen shows the set temperatures of
the bath and the dryer, respectively.
（ 3 ） Preset temperature: press the setting button to enter the setting interface. The displayed
temperature is the set temperature. Press the temperature rise and temperature drop buttons to reach
the required set temperature, and the temperature will be automatically stored in the computer chip.
Press the setting button again to return to the main interface. If the user uses the last set temperature,

then this step can be skipped directly.
(4) Work

Note: Be careful, the temperature at the instrument surface may be very high.
Bath: Once the device is started, the bath box shall start to heat, when the preset temperature is
reached, the bath operation can be conducted

Note: Be careful, the temperature at the instrument surface may be very high.
The optimum water temperature is to change the 5 micron thick paraffin section from white to
transparent.
Dryer: Once the device is started, the drying table shall start to heat, when the preset temperature is
reached, the dryer operation can be conducted
If only one function is used, adjust the other temperature to room temperature.
（ 5 ） Alarm setting: After turning off the power button, long press the setting button to enter the
alarm setting interface. Adjust the alarm value through the temperature rise and temperature drop
buttons. When the temperature reaches "set value + alarm value", the device will alarm, and long
