1. Turn the cabinet on using the power switch located on the far left
side of the control panel. Once the switch is turned on, the
power indicator light will illuminate.

small amount of passive humidity, if desired. Fill pan with clean
warm water. Check water level every 2 hours and refill as

without water in the pan.
3. To adjust the temperature setting, rotate the HEAT dial clock-
wise to increase temperature and counter-clockwise to decrease
temperature to the desired set point. Temperature dial settings
range from 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest temperature and 10
being the highest temperature. HEAT cycle light will turn on and
off as the heat thermostat cycles.
4. Wait approximately 25 minutes for the cabinet to preheat. Digital
readout dial on right side of control panel will display actual
cabinet temperature*.
