    1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Warning & Cautions Warning Never operate equipment near combustible gases/fumes. Do not install or operate SM series unit near flammable or explosive gases/fumes. Unit is NOT fire or blast resistant. Negligent use could cause a fire/explosion. See “List of Hazardous Substances” (P.40).
  • Page 7 1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Warning & Cautions Equipment under pressure. DO NOT open unit lid until pressure gauge reads “0” (zero) psi. Opening while pressurized will allow high temperature, high pressure steam to abruptly escape chamber, possibly causing serious burns or other personal injury. When opening unit, always confirm pressure gauge reads “0”...
