HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE DANGEROUS: they can cause serious burns to operators and ignite
combustible material.
Techne have taken great care in the design of these units to protect operators from hazards, but
operators should pay attention to the following points:
• USE CARE AND WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES TO PROTECT HANDS;
• DO NOT put hot objects on or near combustible objects;
• DO NOT operate the unit close to inflammable liquids or gases;
• At all times USE COMMON SENSE.
OpErATOr sAfETY
All operators of Techne equipment must have available the relevant literature needed to ensure their
safety. It is important that only suitably trained personnel operate this equipment, in accordance with the
instructions contained in this manual and with general safety standards and procedures. If the equipment
is used in a manner not specified by Techne the protection provided by the equipment to the operator
may be impaired.
All Techne units have been designed to conform to international safety requirements and are fitted with
an over-temperature cut-out. On some models, the cut-out is adjustable and should be set to suit the
application. On all other models the cut-out is preset to protect the unit.
If a safety problem should be encountered, switch off at the mains socket and remove the plug from the
supply.
