Planning

tightly and the enclosure set between 60-90 fpm.

Arrange for minimal disruptions, such as room traffic or entry into the

room while the enclosure is in use.

Start-up

Turn on exhaust system and accessory light.

Only raise the sash for loading and cleaning.

Check the baffle air slots for obstructions.

Allow the enclosure to operate unobstructed for 1 minute.

Wear a long sleeved lab coat and rubber gloves. Use protective eyewear.

Wear a protective mask if appropriate. Consult your Safety Officer for
additional personal protective equipment recommendations.
