Safety regulations
1.2 Product safety and dangers
The appliances described in this manual are technically sophisticated, manufactured
using high-quality materials and subject to many hours of testing in the factory. They
contain the latest technology and comply with recognised technical safety regulations.
However, there are still risks involved, even when the appliances are used as intended.
These are described below.
Warning!
After removing covers, live parts may be exposed. You may receive
an electric shock if you touch these parts. Disconnect the mains plug
before removing any covers. Only electrical technicians may work on
the electrical equipment of the appliances.
Warning!
When loading the appliance with an unsuitable load, poisonous or
explosive vapours or gases may be produced. This could cause the
appliance to explode, and persons could be severely injured or poi-
soned. The appliance may only be loaded with materials/test objects
which do not form any toxic or explosive vapours when heated up
(see also chapter “Intended use” on page 8).
Warning!
In case of appliances of a certain size, you can get accidentally
locked in, which is life-threatening. Do not climb into the appliance!
1.3 Requirements of the operating personnel
The appliance may only be operated and maintained by persons who are of legal age and
have been instructed accordingly. Personnel who are to be trained, instructed or who
are undergoing general training may only work with the appliance under the continuous
supervision of an experienced person.

accordance with its intended use (see page 8);
►is responsible for ensuring that persons who are to operate or service the appliance
are qualified to do this, have been instructed accordingly and are familiar with the
operating instructions at hand;
►must know about the applicable guidelines, requirements and operational safety
regulations, and train staff accordingly;
►is responsible for ensuring that unauthorised persons have no access to the appli-
ance;

1.5 Intended use
►Peltier-cooled incubators IPP are intended for the storage of substances and samples,
for determination of life expectancy as well as for cultivation and incubation in a
temperature range of 0 to 70 °C.
►Cooled storage incubators IPS are intended for the storage and cooling of substances
and samples and for determination of life expectancy at constant temperatures in a
range of 14 to 45 °C.
Any other use could be dangerous.
The appliance is not explosion-proof (does not comply with the German workplace
health & safety regulation VBG 24). The appliance 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.
The appliance may not be used for drying, vaporising and branding paints or similar
materials the solvents of which could form an explosive mixture when combined with air.
If there is any doubt as to the composition of materials, they must not be loaded into the
appliance. Potentially explosive gas-air mixtures must not form, neither in the working
chamber nor in the direct vicinity of the appliance.
1.6 Changes and conversions
No unauthorised changes or alterations may be made to the appliance. No parts may be
added or inserted which have not been approved by the manufacturer.
Unauthorised changes or alterations result in the CE declaration of conformity losing its
