10 Instructions for Operation and Care of Litte Therm Compact Thermaator 3- Periodic use: The water temperature for norma operating conditions is about 165 F (74 C). The thermostat is very sensitive; even a sma adjustment can raise or ower the temperature severa degrees. The thermostat has an adjustabe temperature range of 65 F (18 C) to 175 F (79 C) ±5 F (-15 C).

11 Instructions for Operation and Care of Litte Therm Compact Thermaator MAINTENANCE The Litte Therm design is neary maintenance-free. It shoud, under most conditions, give many years of reiabe service. Cean and repace the Therma Packs as described beow. 1. Routine Maintenance (As Needed) See Ceaning and Sanitizing Aways keep the Therma Packs under water. Repace any water that has evaporated. 2. Monthy Maintenance Destroy or discard any contaminated Therma Packs. See Ceaning and Sanitizing Cean wire rack and insert using mid soap. Rinse thoroughy with cean tap water. Dry with soft coth. Scrub your Therma Packs with warm soap and water. Keep the ph (a measure of acidity of the water) between 7.4 and 7.8 to reduce the scaing and residue buid-up. 3. Yeary Maintenance Repace worn out Therma Packs. When The packs begin to wear out, the non-toxic fier oozes through the fabric and seams. The individua ces seem empty. These packs don't hod the heat. Throw away worn Therma Packs. Have a professiona eectrician thoroughy check the foowing: 1- Test for eakage current, dieectric strength, and receptace poarity and ground. If you need test need test detais, ca the number isted on the back page. 2- Check the power cord and pug. They shoud be free of cuts, abrasion and other damage. Repace the power cord assemby if it is damaged. Use ony factory repacement parts. 3- Remove the cover and check a eectrica components and connections. Repace any parts that are in questionabe condition. Use ony factory authorized repacement parts. CLEANING AND SANITIZING Ceaning of the tanks can best be accompished with a very mid, non-scratching househod ceaner and a very ow abrasion pastic scouring pad ighty appied. On a stainess stee tank, never use a meta scouring pad as it is too abrasive and may eave carbon meta deposits on the stainess, which wi rust. Again, disinfection and steriizing procedures are different from faciity to faciity, and we have found that acoho is sti the best (but expensive) ceaning and steriizing soution. Beaches and iodine shoud not be used. Use of beach or iodine wi resut in pin hoes in the stainess stee tank which wi eak and void the warranty. STORAGE 1. Storing the Litte Therm See Ceaning and Sanitizing Pace the Litte Therm upright in a dry area away from any chemicas. 2. Storing the Therma Packs Scrub your Therma Packs with warm soap and water. Moist and Cod 1- Put the moist Therma Pack in a pastic bag. 2- Sea the bag. 3- Store the bag in the freezer (recommended) or refrigerator. Dry 1- Air dry the Therma Pack competey in a we ventiated area. The fier wi become hard and caked. This doesn't hurt the bags; more Pre- Soaking time is then necessary. 2- Store in a dry area away from any chemicas. Phone (800) (626) Fax (626) Web: 9
