Saving energy
For heating baths there are various ways to save energy. By using fl oating balls in the water bath,
evaporation of water is reduced. As a result, the bath heating has to switch on less often. This
measure helps to save up to 50% of energy. At the same time approximately 70% less water is used.
Additionally, a cover is available to put over the heating bath during operation which also saves energy
between distillations.

NOTE
Turn on the heating bath about 10 –15 minutes before starting the distillation, since the bath has a
certain warm-up time. Turn off the heating bath after a distillation.
ATTENTION
As soon as the power plug is connected and the mains switch is turned on, the bath starts heating if
the actual temperature is below the set temperature. For this reason, make sure that there is always
heating medium in the bath to prevent instrument damage.
