explicitly designed could cause severe injury or death. Any
customer after-market retrofit violates the warranty of the
equipment.
Do not reconfigure the controller. Any reconfiguration of the
control Instrument could cause inaccurate readings, faulty
instrument values, and may cause the unit to become overheated
and start on fire, causing personal Injury or death, product and
property damage.
Do not modify or disconnect any safety features provided.
Disconnection of the unit safety features could allow the unit to
become overheated and start on fire, causing personal injury or
death, product and property damage.
Do not use components or materials not specifically designed for
this equipment. Failure to comply with this precaution could result
in damage to equipment used or the furnace and may create an
overheat situation. Also, do not use anything other than OEM
exact replacement equipment and parts. Not using OEM
replacement parts could cause faulty. Instrumentation readings,
inoperable equipment, or temperature overshoot. Both situations
may cause personal injury or death, product, and property
damage.
Before using, user shall determine the suitability and integrity of
the product for the intended use and that the unit has not been
altered in any way. Misapplication may compromise the safety of
the end user or the life of the product.
Do not process hazardous work loads such as those containing
combustible volatile fluids Dr materials which emit explosive
vapors. Processing those workloads could result In a fire or
explosion which could cause personal injury or death, product,
and property damage. If there is any question about the safety of
the workload, consult your safety engineering staff or Thermo
Fisher customer service department.

Make sure that the unit is level when Installed. If the unit is tilted,
the door may swing shut at any time and Injure personnel.
This product contains ceramic fiber and airborne dust and fibers.
When installing, maintaining, or removing the refractory Insulation,
you must follow safety precautions as described In the applicable
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) in the safety notes of this
manual.
When installing, maintaining Dr removing the refractory Insulation,
the following precautions will minimize airborne dust and fiber:
• Keep personnel not involved in the installation out of the area.
• Use a good vacuum to clean area and equipment. Use a dust
suppressant if sweeping is necessary. Do not use compressed
air.
• Use a disposable mask suitable for nuisance dust.
• Wear long sleeve clothing, gloves, hat, and eye protection to
minimize skin and eye contact. Do not wear contact lenses.
• Thoroughly wash self after work is complete.
• Launder work clothing separate from other clothes and
thoroughly clean laundering equipment after use. If clothing
contains a large amount of dust and/or fiber, dispose of rather
than clean.
• Promptly place used ceramic fiber parts and dust in plastic
bags and dispose of properly.
