Connect the warming unit to the power source and turn 2.
the warming unit power ON.
NOTE: The temperature setting will not affect the Over Heat
test.
Using the Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the screw on 3.
the alarm test panel. The unit will go into an over heat
condition when the test panel is loose.
When the over heat alarm activates both visually and 4.
audibly, note the maximum temperature achieved. Let the
alarm operate for at least 1 minute or until the temperature
read-out is approximately 38°C (100°F), then turn the
warming unit OFF and then ON; the alarm should also
turn off. The alarm and manual reset constitutes one cycle.
NOTE: If the alarm does not turn off, allow the unit to alarm for
1 more minute before turning the warming unit to STANDBY,
then ON again.
