The "Lid" menu in the main menu can be used to determine the temperature of the heated lid and to switch
the heated lid on or off (e.g. to preheat the lid).

The lid heating switches off when a temperature value of 0
°

When sensitive PCRs are carried out, it may be important to delay the start until the lid temperature has
prevented condensation. This can be achieved by programming the "WAIT" setting, which means that the
program does not start until the lid reaches the specified temperature.
In addition, the lid can also be preheated. After the device has been switched on, the "Lid" menu is selected,
the desired lid temperature is entered and "Heater is On" is selected by pressing the key.
When a program starts, it is the program settings which have priority.
When a program is running, the lid heating cannot be switched on or off.
