1. Safety instructions
Safe operation of the equipment is guaranteed,
provided it is used correctly. However, there is no
guarantee of safety if the equipment is used in an
improper or careless manner.
If it may be assumed for any reason that non-
hazardous operation will not be possible (e.g. visi-
ble damage), the equipment should be switched off
immediately and secured against any unintended
use.
•
Before using the ewipment for the first time,
make sure the mains rating is correct for the
mains voltage in your country.
•
Before using the steam generator, check the
container, the hot plate and the mains lead for
any damage. In the event of any malfunc-
tion/operational defect or visible damage,
switch off the equipment immediately and se-
cure it against any unintentional use.
•
The instrument may only be connected to the
mains via a socket that has an earth connection.
Excess pressure could cause damage to the vessel
and, in the worst case, the generator could ex-
plode.
•
Never obstruct or crimp the steam outlet or
connecting tubes.
Careless or improper operation of the steam gen-
erator can result in scalding or serious burns.
•
Set up the steam generator on a heat-resistant
surface.
•
Connect only heat-resistant tubing (e.g. silicone
hose U10146). Make sure that the hose fits per-
fectly.
•
Before removing or connecting a hose and
before removing the holder clamp, always al-
low the equipment to cool.
