3. INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
Installation
The safety cabinet has to be installed on a flat surface that can bear its weight with the products inside.
Ensure that the safety cabinet is correctly wedged, as for the cabinet not to topple. The eventual blocking has to be done by the user.
The correct leveling of the cabinet must cart off any distortion of the frame, allow the doors to be strictly parallel compared to the frame,
and take away any rubbing of the doors on the cabinet’s frame.
The installation location must guarantee :
▪That it is not exposed to any heat source
▪That it is protected against moisture and that the ambient temperature of the location is neither less than 5°C, nor more than

40°C
Transport and handling
The safety cabinet that you received has been protected and transported in optimal conditions, as to be protected from any damage.
It has to be lifted only by suitable equipment (suction cup, strap…). It has to be carried in a vertical position, and it must not be lying.
It is imperative not to tilt the cabinet when it is carried. Indeed it can cause damages that can alter the right functioning of the cabinet.
On the other hand, if it has to be moved, the cabinet has to be placed on a pallet and strapped, as to avoid any fall.
Commissioning
After having unwrapped the cabinet, ensure that you also received a set of two keys.
Your safety cabinet has to be installed, used and maintained as to guarantee the users protection.
You need to remove the covers on the vents before storing any can in your cabinet. To do this, simply unscrew them counterclockwise.
The doors open by pulling the handle towards you.
4. INTERNAL EQUIPMENTS
The cabinet is provided with 1 shelf. This must be fixed at the chosen height thanks to the rack and pinion.
Take care not to exceed the loading capacity per shelf of 75 KG.
The cabinet also has an integrated retention tank, which has a retention capacity of 20 liters.
The cabinet is provided with polyethylene trays attached to the galvanized steel shelves and a separate polyethylene liner for the
bottom sump.
5. STORAGE
Your safety cabinet is exclusively destined to store chemicals in laboratories, industries, schools… in closed containers.
It must not store high concentrated corrosive products.
We remind you that the storage of corrosives can alter the quality of your safety equipment. On the other hand, we remind you that
damages due to a bad use of the equipment won’t be covered by our warranty.
6. VENTILATION
We highly recommend connecting your safety cabinet to a ventilation system, as to evacuate the eventual vapors contained in it.
The air renewal has to be at least 10 times the volume of the cabinet, per hour. Moreover, ensure that the ventilation runs 24h/7.
Connection to a ventilation system
The air inlet and outlet are situated on the side of the cabinet.
How to choose a ventilation or a filtration box ?
Ventilation boxes are connected to the safety cabinet with a connecting kit (including a connecting sleeve, 2 hose clamps and 1 meter
of flexible sheath) ; the fan included in the box extracts the toxic vapors contained in the cabinet, and reject it to the outside of the

building thanks to the roof or wall extraction.
If you cannot reject the vapors to the outside, you need a filtration box.
Filtration boxes are equipped with an activated carbon filter, which purifies the toxic vapors in the box, and rejects it in the room in a
healthy fashion. Filtration boxes are delivered with the activated carbon filter that you need to renew once a year.
Running without any mechanic ventilation
It is possible for your safety cabinet to run without mechanical ventilation. However, your cabinet has to be placed in a location that
provides its own ventilation system (at least 5 times the volume of the location, per hour).
The cabinet itself and a radius of 2,5 meters directly around is a dangerous area subject to explosions.
On the other hand, if the ventilation system of your cabinet is not running, you have to indicate it, by putting an etiquette on the cabinet,
saying “Safety cabinet not connected to the mechanic ventilation” (etiquette is not provided).
7. SAFETY CONTROLS
Your safety cabinet is a safety equipment. As to guarantee its perfect efficiency, you have to check the equipment regularly.
Daily safety controls :
▪Check if the products (liquids, powders…) have flowed in the containment sumps. If it has, they have to be emptied and
cleaned promptly, with suitable equipment (absorbent mat…).
▪Check that the cabinet and its internal equipments are not corroded.
▪Check that the cabinet does not have any mechanical damages.
▪Check the proper closing of the doors.
▪Check the proper working of the locking system.
Monthly safety controls :
▪Check the proper working of the doors (opening and closing)
▪Check the working of your ventilation system thanks to, for example, a piece of paper
(Only if your cabinet is connected to a mechanical ventilation system)
