Safety Information
Your Thermo Scientific Cimarec Hot Plate has been
designed with function, reliability, and safety in mind. It
is your responsibility to install it in conformance with
local electrical codes. For safe operation, please pay
attention to the alert signals throughout the manual.
Warning: These products should be used only under
the operating conditions specified in the Operating
Manual. Always use safe laboratory practices and do
not leave the hotplate in operation while unattended as
product funcionality or laboratory practice failures could
occur that might lead to uncontrolled or excessive
heating of the top surface. Safety procedures (includ-
ing, but not limited to, unplugging when not in use) and
response plans should be put in place to address the
worst case possibility. If an over-temperature failure
occurs, the top surface temperature could rise to the
maximum temperature (300-540°C depending on your
model's specification) and remain at that temperature
indefinitely. Under these conditions, the material being
heated on the surface of the hotplate could reach lev-
els in excess of the maximum temperature.
This manual contains important operating and safety
information. The user must carefully read and under-
stand the contents of this manual prior to the use of
this equipment.
