Start up and performing the drying process

With regard to operating the vacuum drying oven VDL and to the installation location, please observe the
relevant national regulations (for Germany in particular: DGUV guidelines 213-850 on safe working in
laboratories, issued by the employers' liability insurance association; Industrial Safety Regulation (Be-
trSichV); Ordinance on Hazardous Substances (GefStoffV); Technical Regulations on Industrial Safety
and Health (TRBS 1201 Part 1).
Note: Warming chambers may release odors in the first few days after commissioning. This is not a quali-
ty defect. To reduce odors quickly we recommend heating up the chamber to its nominal temperature for
one day and in a well-ventilated location.
Do not start up the chamber without technical ventilation (chap. 5.2.2).
