REMOVING AND EXCHANGING BLOCKS
The thermal cycling block can be removed and exchanged for one of a different format or for detailed
cleaning.
1. Before removing the block, disconnect from the power
supply and allow it to cool to below 50°C.
2. Slide the quick release handles in the direction of the arrows
indicated and lift the block assembly out of the unit.
3. Never lift or carry the block by one quick release handle,
always use both handles or support the block from
underneath.
4. When re-fitting the block, or fitting a new one, slide the quick
release handles in the opposite direction to lock the
assembly into the unit.
5. Open or closed padlock symbols are printed on the quick
release handles for easy reference.
