Upon receiving the VWR Mini Block Heater, check to ensure that no damage has
occurred in shipment. It is important that any damage that occurred in transport is
detected at the time of unpacking. If you do find such damage the carrier must be
notified immediately.
DO NOT lift the unit by the lid or power cord. After unpacking, place the Mini Block
Heater on a level bench or table, away from explosive vapors. Ensure that the surface
on which the unit is placed will withstand typical heat produced by the unit and place
the unit a minimum of 15,2cm from vertical surfaces. Always place the unit on a sturdy
work surface. Position the unit in such a way that it is easy to reach and unplug the
power cord from the back of the unit.
The Mini Block Heater is supplied with a power cord that is inserted into the IEC
connector on the back of the unit first, then it can be plugged into a properly grounded
outlet. The 230V unit plugs into a 230 volt, 50/60 Hz source.
It is necessary to fill the Mini Block Heater well with a modular heating block because
an empty block location will affect performance. Place filled tubes in the modular
block, then place the modular block into the Mini Block Heater well.

or other technical user maintenance is required. It needs no user maintenance beyond
keeping the surfaces clean.
The unit should be given the care normally required for any electrical appliance. Avoid
wetting or unnecessary exposure to fumes. Spills should be removed promptly after
the unit has cooled down. DO NOT use a cleaning agent or solvent which is abrasive
or harmful to plastics on the front panel, nor one which is flammable. Always ensure
