For your Safety
1.2 Product safety and dangers
The appliances described in this manual are technically sophisticated, manufactured using
high-quality materials and subject to many hours of testing in the factory. They contain the
latest technology and comply with recognised technical safety regulations. However, there are
still risks involved, even when the appliances are used as intended. These are described below.
Warning!
After removing covers, live parts may be exposed. You may receive
an electric shock if you touch these parts. Disconnect the mains plug
before removing any covers. Only electrical technicians may work on
the electrical equipment of the appliances.
Warning!
When loading the appliance with an unsuitable load, poisonous or
explosive vapours or gases may be produced. This could cause the
appliance to explode, and people could be severely injured or poi-
soned. The appliance may only be loaded with materials/test objects
which do not form any toxic or explosive vapours when heated up
(see also chapter Intended use on page 8).
Warning!
In case of appliances of a certain size, you can get accidentally
locked in, which is life-threatening. Do not climb into the appliance!
1.2.1 Additional safety regulation for the model ICH L
Warning!
UV light is a danger to your eyes. Your eyes could be injured by UV
light if you do not wear protection. Always wear UV safety goggles
when opening the door of the ICH L. This is indicated by the warn-
ing signs on the door (see Fig. 1).
1.3 Safety labels
The model ICH L has warning labels attached to its
door, warning against dangerous UV radiation in the
interior (Fig. 1). They indicate that either the lighting
has to be switched off or UVsafety goggles are
required when the door is opened.
These stickers must not be removed and must always
be well visible. If they become unrecognisable or if they
peel off, they must be replaced. They can be ordered
from Memmert customer service.
