Safety Safety Terms and Symbols Used In this manual and on the unit itself, certain recurring terms and symbols are used to warn you of hazards or give you information that is important in order to prevent injury or damage. To avoid accidents and damage, observe and follow these instructions. These terms and symbols are explained below.
Safety Product Safety and Dangers The units described in this manual are technically sophisticated, manufactured using high- quality materials and subject to many hours of testing in the factory. They reflect the state of the art and comply with recognised technical safety regulations. However, there are still risks involved, even when the units are used as intended.
Intended Use Memmert waterbaths are intended for indirect tempering of samples or materials. Water should be used as the tempering medium. A wide variety of samples are tempered in a range from approx. 5 °C above room temperature to 100 °C. This can be done in suitable vessels such as test tubes, Erlenmeyer flasks etc., or if the sample to be tempered is...
Safety Any other use is improper and may result in hazards and damage. The unit is not explosion-proof (does not comply with the German occupational health and safety regulation VBG 24). The unit may only be loaded with materials and substances which cannot form any toxic or explosive vapours at the set temperature and which cannot explode, burst or ignite.
6 Safety label “Caution hot” Description of Function Memmert waterbaths are heated using the Memmert heating concept, which has proven itself over decades. A digital sensor measures the temperature at the waterbath tray. To prevent dry running, the waterbath automatically shuts off if the fill level of the tempering medium is insufficient.
