Safety instructions - operation
Observe the following notes:
The operator of the InnuPure C16 must make sure before each commissioning that
the condition of the device including the safety equipment is sound. This applies in
particular after each modification or extension of the device or its repair.
The device may only be operated if all protective equipment (e.g., doors) are in
place, properly installed and fully operational.
Free access to the device switch on the back of the enclosure must always be en-
sured during operation.
During operation and after aborting an extraction protocol, the operator must not
reach with his hands into the device chamber. Otherwise the operator may get
burned at the magnet heating adapter (max. 80°C).
The ventilation equipment on the device must be in good working condition. Cov-
ered vents or ventilation slits etc. may cause the device to break down or may
cause damage to it.
The mains plug must only be plugged into a power outlet with protective ground
connection. The device may only be connected to power sources whose nominal
voltage is the same as that on the nameplate of the equipment. The protective ef-
fect must not be invalidated by the use of an extension line which does not have a
protective conductor.
Do not introduce any objects into the device and prevent fluids from entering the
device through openings or gaps.
Do not short circuit the device and only use fuses in accordance with the specifica-
tions in the technical data.
