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.

Chapter 1 Getting Started 3The Capillary Holders are used to (1) store unused and discarded capillaries, (2) guardthe unit against dust and small particles and (3) protect the user from touching liveelectrical parts.Warning!Do not put your unit into operation without the Capillary Holders in place.Glass WindowThe Glass Window is normally preinstalled at the factory. To install or replace the GlassWindow, remove the blue metal lid located on the top of the unit. If the Ceramic Insulatoris installed, remove it by sliding in up off of the two pins (see page 4 of this manual forCeramic Insulator installation). Slide the glass window into the vertical slot located onthe front face of the heating block as depicted in Figure 4.The Glass Window is designed to (1) thermally insulate the sample capillaries fromambient, (2) allow uniform heating of the three capillary slots and (3) provide a clearview of the samples. The sliding assembly facilitates cleanup of the window and theblock in the case of capillary breakage inside the oven.Figure 4.
