Warning! UV-C radiation A UV lamp is built into the Condair MN's central unit. In principle this should pose no risks, as it is installed in a radiation-proof housing. If the UV lamp is operated outside of this housing, harmful UV-C radiation may be released. This may cause damage to the eyes and skin.
