�Before commissioning, read and observe the safety instructions.
�Keep the operating instruction manual accessible for all users.
/// Other risks
Risk of burning at hot surfaces
The top edge of the heating bath can heat up to temperatures above 65 °C during operation.
�Do not touch hot device components without protective gloves.
�Only fill or empty the device when it is cold.
Risk of injury caused by explosion
�Do not use the device in explosive atmospheres, as it is not EX-protected.
�When using tempering media that could create explosive mixtures, take appropriate safety
measures (e.g. work under an extractor hood).
Risk of injury caused by self-igniting tempering media
�Only heat up tempering media with a flashpoint above the set safety temperature of the
heating bath.
�Ensure that the set safety temperature limit is always at least 25 °C below the flashpoint of
the tempering medium in use.
�Do not touch hot tempering media.
Risk of burns due to self-igniting tempering media (also in connection with rotary
evaporator or other devices)
�For tempering media with a flashpoint ≤ 260 °C: Note the danger resulting from ignition of
the medium.
�Note the danger resulting from flammable materials.
Risk of injury caused by electric shock
�Only put together accessories with the power supply cable disconnected.
Damage to the device due to improper use
�Empty the heating bath before transportation.
�Never operate the heating bath without tempering medium.
�Ensure that the specified settings on the rating plate coincide with the actual power supply.
�Ensure that the power socket used is earthed (grounded contact).
�Avoid knocks or impacts to the device and accessories.
Hazards resulting from uncontrolled restart
�After an interruption to the power supply, the device starts up again with previously set
operating mode C.
�To cut the power supply, press the device main switch or unplug the mains or device plug.
�After interrupting the power supply, ensure that the device is not unintentionally restarted.
/// Requirements for operators / users
�Ensure that only qualified persons use the device.
�Ensure that the device is only opened by a qualified technician.
�Ensure that the applicable safety and accident prevention measures are observed when
processing hazardous materials.
�Wear personal safety equipment in accordance with the hazard class of the medium that is
used.
�Inform the user about possible danger due to contact with or inhalation of media (e.g.
poisonous liquids, gases, mist, vapours, dusts or biological or microbiological materials).
�Only work with media for which the energy input during processing is harmless. This also
needs to take into account other sources of energy such as, for example, light irradiation.
�Place device on an even, stable, clean, non-slip, dry, fire-resistant surface.
�Refer to the operating instructions for the accessories.
�Always check the device and accessories for damage prior to each use. Never use damaged
parts.
�During operation with rotary evaporator: Observe the maximum filling quantity also for the
displaced piston volume.
/// Use
�The heating bath is used for tempering media. It is the user’s responsibility to to determine
which medium is tempered. The heating bath is not used for tempering foods. The heating
bath is suitable for use with rotary evaporators from IKA.
Recommended tempering media
› Water (up to 80 °C)
› Low viscosity silicone oils (50 mPas) with a flashpoint ≥ 260 °C
› Untreated tap water is not recommended. It is recommended to use distilled water or
high purity water (ion exchangers) and add 0.1 g soda (sodium carbonate NaCO)/liter,
to reduce corrosive properties.
/// Area of use
� Indoor environments similar to that a laboratory of research, teaching, trade or industry area.
� The safety of the user cannot be guaranteed:
›
if the device is operated with accessories that are not supplied or recommended by the
manufacturer,
›
if the device is operated improperly or contrary to the manufacture’s specifications,
›
if the device or the printed circuit board are modified by third parties.
