Do not use a flammable liquid. A fire hazard may
result. This unit is not explosion proof. Unit contains
components which may ignite such materials.
Use appropriate hand and eye protection when han-
dling hazardous chemicals.
The interior of the unit can reach temperatures that
can cause burns. Avoid contact. The unit can remain
hot without visual indication for some time after
power is turned off.
If you will use the water bath with any liquid that will
give off fumes, be sure to operate the water bath in
a fume hood or with proper ventilation.
Use the cover to reduce evaporation and to permit
reaching higher temperatures.
Hot liquids pose a burn hazard. Be careful not to
reach into the bath when it contains hot liquids. Also
be careful of steam rising from hot liquids.
The unit is intended to be operated with liquid in the
chamber. However, it will not be damaged if it tem-
porarily runs dry unless ignited by melting sam-
ples/plastic in the bath.
Do not use in highly corrosive atmospheres; corro-
sive fumes and spillage may damage the unit and its
internal components, creating a shock hazard.
Fumes from acidic solutions cause corrosion of the
stainless steel reservoir. Care should be taken to
maintain a neutral pH at all times.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
Do not place containers directly on bottom of cham-
ber. Bottom can get extremely hot if no liquid is in
the chamber. Always use the 1diffuser tray.
