Compressed Gases and Cylinders for Flame Operation
This spectrometer is to be used only with air, nitrous oxide, and
acetylene for flame operation.
Never use oxygen or oxygen-enriched air as the oxidant because this
will result in an explosion.
Never use any gas except acetylene as the fuel gas.
Acetylene
Unskilled, improper, or careless use of acetylene can create explosion
hazards and fire hazards which can result in death, severe personal
injury or burns.

Keep the burner slot, spray chamber and liquid trap clean.
Always use the internal igniter to light the flame as the flame will
not operate unless all the safety interlocks are satisfied.
