1.6 Intended use
The chambers are suitable for exact tempering of harmless materials and for drying and heat treatment of
solid or pulverized charging material, as well as bulk material, using the supply of heat. Because of their
precise temperature accuracy the chambers are especially useful for incubation of cultures at a standard
temperature of 37 °C / 98.6 °F and for warm storage of liquids in containers.
A solvent content must not be explosive or flammable. A mixture of any component of the charging
material with air must NOT be explosive. The operating temperature must lie below the flash point or
below the sublimation point of the charging material. Any component of the charging material must NOT
be able to release toxic gases
Other applications are not approved.
The chambers are not classified as medical devices as defined by the Medical Device Directive
93/42/EEC.
Do NOT use the chambers for drying processes when large quantities of vapor would form and result in
condensation.
Due to the special demands of the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC, these ovens are not
qualified for sterilization of medical devices as defined by the directive.
Observing the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work
(chap. 9) is part of the intended use.
WARNING: If customer should use a BINDER chamber running in non-supervised continuous
operation, we strongly recommend in case of inclusion of irrecoverable specimen or samples
to split such specimen or samples and store them in at least two chambers, if this is feasible.
The charging material shall not contain any corrosive ingredients that may damage the
machine components. Such ingredients include in particular acids and halides. Any corrosive
damage caused by such ingredients is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH.
The chambers do not dispose of any measures of explosion protection.
DANGER
Explosion or implosion hazard.
Danger of poisoning.
Danger of death.
∅ Do NOT introduce any substance combustible or explosive at working temperature into
the chamber, in particular no energy sources such as batteries or lithium-ion batteries.
∅ NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the inner chamber.
∅ Do NOT introduce any substance which could lead to release of toxic gases.
In case of foreseeable use of the device there is no risk for the user through the integration of the
chamber into systems or by special environmental or operating conditions in the sense of EN 61010-
1:2010. For this, the intended use of the chamber and all its connections must be observed.
