  • Page 7: Product Safety And Dangers

    Safety regulations 1.2 Product safety and dangers Constant climate chambers of types HPP 108 and HPP 749 are technically well-developed, manufactured using high-quality materials and are tested for many hours in the factory. They contain the latest technology and comply with recognised technical safety regulations. But there are still dangers involved, even when the appliance is used as intended.

  • Page 8: Changes And Conversions

    Safety regulations 1.5 Changes and conversions No independent conversions or alterations may be made to the constant climate chamber. No parts may be added or inserted which have not been approved by the manufacturer. Independent conversions or alterations result in the EC declaration of conformity (see page 13 ) losing its validity, and the constant climate chamber may no longer be operated.
