sample tubes are
frozen, a warning is
displayed
As far as possible, wait
until end of the
warm-up phase
(except if certain there
is no frost), to cancel

temperature, the air
cleaning of the filter
modules is disabled so
as to generate less
heat. internal temp =
target temp of cuvette
Change/clean air filter,
check air ducts for
blockage, check
enclosure fan, is
ambient temperature
allowed? If necessary
increase electrode
temperature
Reset, automatically as
soon as cool
CUV TOO COOL
Continued

being heated
adequately 2 min after
sample change:
temp. = ((target temp.
of cuvette) –1 °C
(34 °F))
Close instrument door,
check/fit cuvette
insulation. Attention: If
this warning occurs
