Warning and safety instructions
~
Take care when handling chemical
agents such as cleaning agent,
neutralising agent, rinsing agent etc.
These may contain irritant or corrosive
ingredients. Follow all instructions and
safety procedures carefully. Wear
protective gloves and goggles. With all
chemical agents, the manufacturer's
safety instructions and safety data
sheets must be observed.
~
This lab washer is designed for
operation with water and recommended
chemical agents only. Organic solvents
and flammable liquid agents must not
be used in this machine. These could
cause an explosion, damage rubber
and plastic components in the
machine, and cause liquids to leak out
of the machine.
~
Avoid inhalation of powder cleaners.
These chemicals can cause burning in
the mouth and throat if swallowed and
can inhibit breathing.
~
The water in the cabinet must not be
used as drinking water.
~
Do not sit or lean on an open door.
The machine could tip up and be
damaged or cause an injury.
~
Be careful when sorting items with
sharp pointed ends and positioning
them in the machine that you do not
hurt yourself or create a danger for
others. Sharp items should be placed in
baskets with the pointed ends facing
downwards.

~
When using this machine in the
higher temperature ranges, be
especially careful not to scald or burn
yourself or come into contact with
irritant substances when opening the
door. Where disinfecting agents are
used there is a danger of inhaling toxic
vapours.
~
Where there is a risk of toxic or
chemical substances occuring in the
suds solution (e.g. aldehyde in the
disinfecting agent), it is essential to
regularly check door seals and make
sure that the steam condensor is
functioning correctly.
Opening the machine door during a
programme interruption carries
particular risks in such circumstances.
~
Should personnel accidentally come
into contact with toxic vapours or
chemical agents, follow the emergency
instructions given in the manufacturer's
safety data sheets.
~
Baskets, inserts and the load must
be allowed to cool down before they
are unloaded. Any water remaining in
containers could still be very hot. Empty
them into the wash cabinet before
taking them out.
~
Do not touch the heating elements if
you open the door during or directly
after the end of a programme: you
could burn yourself. They remain hot for
some time after the end of the
programme.
~
Never clean the machine or near
vicinity with a hose or a pressure
washer.
