Chapter 1
| Safety
The bath's construction provides protection against the risk of electrical shock by grounding appropriate
metal parts. The protection will not function unless the power cord is connected to a properly grounded
outlet. It is the user's responsibility to assure a proper ground connection is provided.
Do not use the bath as a sterile or patient connected device. In addition, the bath is not designed for use
in Class I, II or III locations as defined by the National Electrical Code.
The circuit protector located on the rear of the bath is not intended to act as a disconnecting means. The
bath's power cord is used as the disconnecting device, it must be easily accessible at all times.
Never operate the bath with a damaged line cord.
Never place the bath in a location or atmosphere where excessive heat, moisture, or corrosive materials
are present.
Never operate the bath without fluid in the reservoir. The only approved fluids are filtered/single distilled
water and de-ionized water with 1 MΩ-cm resistivity.
Never operate the bath or add fluid to the reservoir with panels removed.
Operating the baths at high temperature will cause condensation on the underside of the cover. Remove
the cover with care so the water falls back into the reservoir and not on the bath surface.
When operating at high temperatures do not touch the cover surface, always use the cover's knob/handle.
The user is responsible for any hazard rising from heated material.
Do not clean the bath with solvents, only use a soft cloth and water.
Drain the bath before it is moved. Drain the bath before it is transported and/or stored. Store the bath in
the temperature range -25°C to 60°C (with packaging), and <80% relative humidity.
Always turn the bath off and disconnect the supply voltage from its power source before moving the bath
or before performing any service or maintenance procedures.
Transport the bath with care. Sudden jolts or drops can damage its components.
Refer service and repairs to a qualified technician.
Performance of installation, operation, or maintenance procedures other than the ones described in this
manual may result in a hazardous situation and will void the manufacturer's warranty.
