The concept of both power and temperature control is explained in the J-KEM 210 manual, https://www.jkem.com/files/manuals2/210_Manual.pdf Section 1.2 Set the power level switch to the volume of solution being heated (not the size of the flask being used). The power level switch can be thought of as a solid state variac. Volume ranges are printed above this switch as a guide to select the correct power level since it’s easier to guess the volume being heated than the appropriate “percent powe…
