• Be extremely careful when filling the bath and bringing it up to tempera-
ture. Most fluids expand with temperature. It is easy to add fluid, but ex-
tremely dangerous to remove hot fluid when the bath is over filled. DO
NOT fill the bath above the indicated fill line when the stirring is on. It
will overflow.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
• These guidelines must be followed to ensure that the safety mechanisms
in this instrument will operate properly. The power cord of the instrument
is equipped with a three-pronged grounding plug for your protection
against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a prop-
erly grounded three-prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in
accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electri-
cian. DO NOT use an extension cord or adapter plug.
• DO use a ground fault interrupt device. This unit contains a liquid. A
ground fault device is advised in case liquid is present in the electrical
system and could cause an electrical shock.
• Always replace the power cord with an approved cord of the correct rat-
ing and type. If you have questions, contact an Authorized Service Center
(see Section 1.3).
• High voltage is used in the operation of this equipment. Severe injury or
death may result if personnel fail to observe the safety precautions. Before
working inside the equipment, turn off the power and disconnect the
power cord.
• Keep all combustible materials away from the bath. Operate the bath on a
heatproof surface such as concrete. Provide a means of safety for contain-
ing any spill, which may occur.
BATH FLUIDS
• Fluids used in this unit may produce noxious or toxic fumes under certain
circumstances. Consult the fluid manufacturer's MSDS (Material Safety
Data Sheet). Proper ventilation and safety precautions must be observed.
• The unit is equipped with a soft cutout (user settable firmware) and a hard
cutout (set at the factory). Check the flash point, boiling point, or other
fluid characteristic applicable to the circumstances of the unit operation.
Ensure that the soft cutout is adjusted to the fluid characteristics of the ap-
plication. Failing to set the cutout to the limits of the bath fluid can result
in fire hazards and personal injury.
