Location of the bath and ambient conditions

• Ensure all packing material has been removed.

• The ambient temperature of the laboratory should be controlled within the range 19 to 24°C. A laboratory temperature higher than 24°C will impair the performance of the cooling system.

• Locate the bath on a flat clean surface with sufficient space around the bath for ventilation: - Fan on the rear – requires 120mm (5”) clearance - Fan on the right-hand side – requires 120mm (5”) clearance

• Ensure that the location of the bath is not in the path of direct sunlight and will not be affected by draughts e.g. air conditioning system

• Ensure that the bath is level, if necessary adjust the height of the feet

• Ensure the location is free from vibration
