If you suspect that a HEPA filter has been damaged DO NOT use the filtered hood; contact a local certification agency or Labconco. La surface du filtre HEPA est fragile et ne doit pas être touché.
Page 63
Original instructions Chapter 4: Performance Features & Safety Precautions The HEPA filter in the filtered hood will gradually accumulate airborne particulate matter from the room and from work performed in the enclosure. The rate of accumulation will depend upon the cleanliness of the room air, the amount of time the filtered hood is operating and the nature of work being done in the filtered hood.
