1 Safety
The following symbols marked on the equipment mean:-
Caution: Read these operating instructions fully before use and pay particular attention to sections
containing this symbol
Caution: Surfaces can become hot during use.
Always observe the following safety precautions

Use only as specified by the operating instructions or the intrinsic protection may be impaired.

After transport or storage in humid conditions, dry out the unit before connecting it to the supply
voltage. During drying out the intrinsic protection may be impaired.

Connect only to a power supply with a voltage corresponding to that on the serial number label.

Connect only to power supply which provides a safety earth (ground) terminal.

Before moving, disconnect at the power supply socket. Do not remove the IEC connector.

Do not check the temperature by touch; use the temperature display or a thermometer.

To reduce the risk of eye injury during high temperature operation, use safety goggles or spectacles.

Do not touch surfaces which become hot during high temperature operation.

Ensure that the operating temperature is less than the maximum operating temperature of your
sample material.

Set the adjustable overtemperature cut-out after setting or changing the set temperature, and reset it
at monthly intervals to check that the cut-out is operating correctly.

Ensure that the mains switch is easily accessible during use.

Do not block or restrict ventilation slots.

If liquid is spilt inside the unit, disconnect it from the power supply and have it checked by a
competent person.
 It is the user’s responsibility to carry out appropriate decontamination if hazardous material is spilt on
or inside the equipment.

Do not connect to a power supply or switch on before filling the tank.

Take care when topping up or draining, as the liquid in the tank may be very hot.

If the alarm lamp is illuminated do not touch the liquid or the heater, they may be very hot. Refill
carefully, a hot heater can cause a spattering of very hot water droplets and scalding steam.

Always use a lid when operating above 60°C. Take care when rising and removing the lid, it may be
hot. Steam and hot vapours can cause scalding.

Drain before moving the bath. Before draining allow the liquid to cool to below 50°C or heat to above
10°C.

Use only liquids specified in the operating instructions, within the specified temperature range. If the
alarm lamp is illuminated the liquid temperature may be above its recommended maximum: do not
inhale the vapours given off as they may be toxic; liquids should be safely discarded and replaced.
