    CAUTIONS FOR USING EQUIPMENT IN CHAMBER ● Use the inner outlet for an equipment used in the chamber For power source of a heat emitting equipment used in the chamber such as a shaker or a bottle roller, use the electrical outlet equipped in the product. In case of that the chamber temperature rises too much due to this heat emission, when it reaches the preset temperature of over heating protection, electricity through the outlet is cut automatically to avoid over heating in the chamber.

  • Page 21: Prevent Contamination

    PREVENT CONTAMINATION To prevent contamination of the chamber, select an appropriate location for installation as well as the complete disinfection of the chamber components. ● Avoid hot and humid location Avoid location with high temperature and/or humidity as the presence of bacteria in the air is greater than in normal environment.
