Place the paper on the tester with the face to be tested facing upwards. turn the vessel 180 degrees and the level and the timer will start automatically, the test liquid will now be in contact with the paper or board being tested.  When the time has elapsed and audible alarm will sound, return the vessel to its start position. remove the wet sample and with its wet face pointing upwards place on to the blotting paper.
