The recycling material should has no corrosive on SUS304.
Note
Please disconnect the power supply and then troubleshooting if there
is any abnormal circumstances when using it, or contact Professional
maintenance personnel ccordingly.
Please wear labor insurance gloves when cleaning, maintenance and
repair the instrument. Beware of condenser fin injury.
Note
Note
Do not close to rotary parts to avoid personnel injury.
Reminder
Reminder
Do not use it under high temperature and moist ambient. Otherwise it
will affect its normal running and life span.
Clean the condenser regularly. The cooling capacity of the equipment
will be reduced and its power consumption will be increased when
the condenser is clogged with dirt.
Keep well ventilation near the inlet/outlet of the instrument. Do not

6
put any objects near the outlet within 0.7m. If the inlet and outlet
blocked, the cooling capacity will be decreased.
Keep good ventilation around the Instrument.
1.2.6 Other Hazards
Warning
Acid, alkali and other corrosive materials will damage the equipment
insulation, its components performance and service life will be affected.
Do not contact refrigerant with food, medicines, tobacco, etc., to avoid
personal injury.
1.2.7 Safety Measures
Please wear personal protective equipment such as protective glasses,
protective clothing and gloves when operating this instrument.
1.3 Instrument Synopsis
The cold trap is cooled by a compressor to reduce the temperature of the trap wall inside the
vessel, and the gas recovered by the condensation becomes a non-gaseous state, and it will be
stored in the vessel and then discharged.
