2 Getting Started Chapter 1• Replacement Capillary Holder (SRS Part# O100CH)Instrument Placement• Place your OptiMelt on a stable, clean, level and even surface.• Place your OptiMelt away from water sources (i.e. faucets, safety showers,eyewashes, rain, etc.) Do not allow the unit to become wet.• No containers, chemicals or other appliances should be placed behind the product.• Always operate the unit in its proper upright orientation. Do not operate the unit onits side.• To prevent damage to your OptiMelt and ensure sufficient cooling in the electroniccompartment, place the sidewalls of the unit at least 10 cm away from walls or otherobjects.• Your OptiMelt may produce some smoke the first time it is heated. The smoke iscaused by residual oils coating the metal surfaces of the heater and surrounding areas.Once the oils burn away, the smoke will permanently cease.Mounting of AccessoriesCapillary HoldersInsert the glass Capillary Holders into the two openings located on the top surface of themetal housing.Figure 3.
