6. Do not use in the presence of flammable or combustible material, which may cause fire or
explosion. The instrument contains the components that can ignite such materials.
7. Refer maintenance and servicing to qualified personnel.
8. Ensure that the system is connected to electrical service according to local and national
electrical codes. Failure to properly connect may cause a fire or shock hazard.
9. Ensure the use of appropriate materials and correct operation to avoid possible hazards of
explosion, implosion or release of toxic or flammable gases arising from the heated
materials.
10. Handle the culture vessel with cares to prevent the glass vessel from any damages or
crashes, especially before and after autoclave / sterilization.
11. Always use the supplied handle or appropriate protection to handle the culture vessel to
prevent hands from heat burns, especially after autoclave/sterilization.
