Filling the humidifying pan
Use the following procedure to fill the humidifying pan or to replace the water.
1. Lift the humidifying pan cover. (See Fig. 1.)
2. Pull the humidifying pan forward. (See Fig. 2.)
3. Dispose of the remaining water in the pan and
clean the pan with a neutral dishwashing detergent.
Then rinse it thoroughly with distilled water and wipe
it with sterilizing alcohol.
4. Wipe all moisture from the bottom of the chamber.
5. Return the pan to the chamber and add sterile
distilled water (approx. 1.5 L, preheated to 37°C).
(See Fig. 3.)
6. Set the pan with the inner side flush against the
back, and replace the cover. Close all gastight split
doors, inner door and outer door, and confirm that
RH PAN is not displayed in reverse video in the
status display area.
Note:
• Preheat to 37°C the water to be added to the
humidifying pan. Adding low-temperature water will
lower the temperature and humidity in the chamber.
• If the water level alarm indication “RH PAN” is
displayed, use the above procedure to replenish the
water.
CAUTION
When refilling the water in the humidifying pan,
always wipe off any dirt from the water level
sensor with sterilizing alcohol. While doing that,
be careful not to apply excessive force to the
sensor lead wire.
