Set Up

1. Open box and remove slide warmer from packaging.
2. Place slide warmer onto flat surface.
3. Plug AC power cord firmly into back of unit, connect plug to power supply, and slide warmer is ready for use.
4. If there is any damage to the power cord (i.e. tears, bent or damaged plug, or any exposed wires), Do not use. Contact Customer Service immediately at 1-800-523-5874.

Operation

1. Plug the Slide Warmer into an electrical outlet.
2. Turn on the power switch on the side of the machine. The LED temperature display when the machine is on and working.
3. Press the temperature "SET" button (B.) to see the current temperature setting.
4. Set the desired temperature (shown in degrees Celsius) by using the "▲" or "▼" (temperature control) buttons (A.). The setting will appear in the LED temperature display (C.).
5. Once you have entered your desired temperature setting push the temperature "SET" button (B.). This will show the actual temperature of the heating surface.
6. Temperature range is from room temperature to 75°C ±2°C.
7. Place slides flat on the Slide Warmer surface to help warm more efficiently.

Calibration

1. Turn the Slide Warmer on and allow it to warm up for 15 minutes.
2. Use a surface or infrared thermometer to measure the average temperature between the edge of the heating surface and its center. If the difference between the measured average temperature and the temperature shown on the LED temperature display is more than 5°C, the Slide Warmer needs to be recalibrated

How to Recalibrate

I. Adjust the difference between average surface temperature and displayed temperature

1. Press and hold the "SET" button for 3 seconds. The LED temperature display will show "Sc".
2. Press the "SET" button again and you will see the recalibration value begin to flash in the LED temperature display. This value can be adjusted so that the LED temperature display value and the measured average temperature of the heating surface are the same (the default value is 0.0).
3. Use the "▲" or "▼" buttons to set the value between "-9.9" and "9.9".
   For example: The measured average temperature of the heating surface is 30°C, but the LED temperature display shows 20°C. Use the "▲" button to add 10°C (the difference in temperature values). Then when you exit the settings selections (step 7) the LED temperature display will read 30°C.
4. Press the "SET" button again and "E" will be shown in the LED temperature display. Press the "SET" button again and "00.5" will be shown. Do not change this value. It is a factory preset and changing it will cause the Slide Warmer to malfunction.
5. Press the "SET" button again and "P" will be shown in the LED temperature display. Press the "SET" button again and "15.0" will be shown. See II. for instructions on when to adjust this value.
6. Press the "SET" button again and "c" will be shown in the LED temperature display. Press the "SET" button again and "10.0" will be shown. Do not change this value. It is a factory preset and changing it will cause the Slide Warmer to malfunction.
7. Press the "SET" button again and your settings will be saved.

II. If the Slide Warmer does not maintain its recalibrated temperature

1. Press and hold the "SET" button for 3 seconds until "Sc" is shown.
2. Press the "SET" button 4 more times and "P" will be shown in the LED temperature display.
3. Press the "SET" button again to see the value of "P"; this is the temperature control value. This value is equal to P/10°. This value can be adjusted so that the heating surface maintains a steady temperature. Use the "▲" or "▼" buttons to set the value between "0.00" and "99.9".
4. For example, if the LED temperature display value is "50.0" and the value of "P" is "10.0" the heater will turn off and on at P/10 = 10/10 = 1°C. So the heater will turn off at 51°C and heat back up if it falls below 49°C.
5. If the temperature rises too slowly or it cannot reach the "SET" temperature increase the value of "P". If the temperature rises too fast or it surpasses the "SET" temperature decrease the value of "P".
6. Press the "SET" button again and the LED temperature display shows "c" (see step 6 above).
7. Press the "SET" button again to save your settings.
8. Monitor for 10 minutes and readjust values as necessary.
