BINDER GmbH is only responsible for the safety features of the unit provided skilled electricians or qualified personnel authorized by BINDER perform all maintenance and repair, and if components relating to chamber safety are replaced in the event of failure with original spare parts.
The refrigerated incubator KB does not dispose of any measures of explosion protection. DANGER Explosion hazard. Danger of death. ∅ Do NOT introduce any substance into the refrigerated incubator which is combustible or explosive at working temperature. ∅ NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the inner chamber. Any solvent contained in the charging material must not be explosive or inflammable.
Any corrosive damage caused by such ingredients is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH. WARNING: If customer should use a BINDER chamber running in non-supervised continuous operation, we strongly recommend in case of inclusion of irrecoverable specimen or samples to split such specimen or samples and store them in at least two chambers, if this is feasible.

Second-hand units are units that were used for a short time for tests or exhibitions. They are thoroughly tested before resale. BINDER ensures that the chamber is technically sound and will work flawlessly. Second-hand units are marked with a sticker on the unit door. Please remove the sticker before commissioning the unit.
Storage Intermediate storage of the unit is possible in a closed and dry room. Observe the guidelines for temporary decommissioning (chap. 18.2). • Permissible ambient temperature range during storage: -10 °C to +60 °C. • Permissible ambient humidity: max. 70 % r.H., non-condensing When after storage in a cold location you transfer the unit to its warmer installation site, condensation may form.
Avoid any conductive dust in the ambiance according to the unit layout complying with pollution degree 2 (IEC 61010-1). Do not install or operate the unit in potentially explosive areas. DANGER Explosion hazard. Danger of death. ∅ Do NOT operate the unit in potentially explosive areas. ∅...
To reduce odors quickly we recommend heating up the chamber to its nominal temperature for one day and in a well-ventilated location. WARNING: If customer should use a BINDER chamber running in non-supervised continuous operation, we strongly recommend in case of inclusion of irrecoverable specimen or samples to split such specimen or samples and store them in at least two chambers, if this is feasible.
