Safety Information and Regulatory Compliance
Opentronsstronglyrecommendsthatyoufollowthesafeuse
specicationslistedinthissectionandthroughoutthismanual.
The shaking motion of the Heater-Shaker requires additional
anchoring — more than simply clipping it into a deck slot — to
ensure that it does not dislodge itself from the deck of your
robot. See the Setup Steps section of this manual or the on-
screen instructions in the Opentrons App for details on how to
anchor the module.

Temperature Safety
Duringnormaloperation,thetopplate,labwareadapters,and
labwareontopoftheHeater-Shakercanreachtemperatures of up
to 95 °C.Touchingthesesurfaceswhiletheyarehotposestheriskof
burns.
Toreducetheriskofburns,alwayscheckthecolorofthestatuslight
beforetouchingthemodule.Ifthestatuslight is red,themodulemay
behottothetouch.Do not touchthemodule.UsetheOpentronsApp
todeactivatetheheaterandallowthemoduletocooluntilthestatus
lightissolidwhite.
Ifyoumusttouchamodulethatispoweredo,andyouareunsure
whetheritishottothetouch:
◾Ifyoucandosowithout touching any other part of the module,
pressthepowerbuttontoactivatethemoduleandcheckthe
colorofthestatuslight.
◾Ifyoucannotsafelypressthepowerbutton,allowthemoduleto
coolforatleast10minutesbeforetouchingit.
Powering Down
WhenpoweringdowntheHeater-ShakerModule,ensurethatitisidle
(notshaking)andnothottothetouchbycheckingthatitsstatuslight
issolidwhite.Ifthestatuslightisred,themoduleishot;allowthe
moduletocooluntilthestatuslightiswhitebeforepoweringitdown.
Poweringdownthemodulewhilethestatuslightisredpreventsother
usersfromdeterminingwhetherthemoduleishottothetouch.
PressthepowerbuttonabovetheUSBconnectortoturnothe
module.Youcanunplugthepoweradapteroncethemoduleis
