the individual MSDS sheets for the three components that make up the
salt.
The bath is provided with an access cover. The cover should remain on
the bath whenever possible. Operating the bath without the access cover
reduces stability, increases out gassing of fluids, and increases the possi-
bility of personal injury or fire hazard.
When removing probes from the bath DO NOT wipe probes down with a
paper towel. If the bath setpoint is high, the salt can cause the paper towel
to ignite in your hand. Provide a safe surface and situation for the probes
to cool prior to cleaning the salt from the probes.
The bath generates extreme temperatures. Precautions must be taken to
prevent personal injury or damage to objects. Probes may be extremely
hot when removed from the bath. Cautiously handle probes to prevent
personal injury. Carefully place probes on a heat resistant surface or rack
until they are at room temperature.
Be extremely careful when filling the bath with salt and bringing it up to
temperature. Salt expands with temperature. It is easy to add salt, but ex-
tremely dangerous to remove hot molten salt because the bath is over
filled. DO NOT fill the bath above the indicated fill line when the stirring
is on. It will overflow.
