Lid Opening/Closing
There are two ways to open the lid: 1) Slide the lid to the rear, 2) lift up the lid. The first
method is recommended for common operations and to prevent the skin burn from the
heated lid. The second method is used to clean up the heating plate of the lid.
Rotate Lid Knob in a clockwise direction to lower down the heating plate and press down
on the cap of tubes, tighten until you feel resistance. This adjustment will provide better
contact between the tube or plates and the block for better performance. Rotate the Lid
Knob in counter-clockwise direction as shown in Figure 4 until the Lid pops out. Only
when the Lid pops out, users can slide the Lid to the rear as shown in Figure 5.
To lift up the lid for heating plate cleaning, please refer Figure 6 ~ 8.
