1. Move the front window to the maximum opening position. This
automatically switches the blowers to full speed.
2. Install needed work materials within the sample chamber work area.
Avoid blocking the front air intake grille.
3. Move the front window to the work position (the green status
indicator Front Window in Work position is illuminated) and wait
until the airflow has stabilized (the green status indicator Airflow
steady is illuminated).
Warning Personal and product protection is ensured only if the airflow
system of the device is working properly. If the alarm system issues a
failure message for more than a few minutes while the front window is in
work position, stop all applications that may jeopardize worker safety.
4. Load the work tray with samples.
5. For work breaks or for extended experimental phases without manual
intervention, switch the device to standby mode by closing the
window.
The observance of work rules ensures a minimum of operational safety
when handling the biological safety cabinet.
Before starting a procedure, take off all jewellry, put on required personal
protective equipment (gloves, goggles, apron), and clean and disinfect the
sample chamber surfaces at regular intervals.
