mental capabilities, or with no experience or necessary
knowledge, as long as they are monitored or after they
have received instructions on the safe use of the unit
and have understood the dangers involved.
Children must not play with the appliance.
The cleaning and maintenance that must be
performed by the user should not be carried out by
children without supervision.
It is forbidden to touch the appliance if barefoot or with
wet or humid parts of the body.
It is forbidden to clean the appliance without having
first disconnected the appliance from the mains power
supply by turning off the main switch.
It is forbidden to modify safety or adjustment devices
without authorisation and the indications from the
manufacturer.
It is forbidden to pull out or twist the electric cables
coming out of the appliance, even if they are

main switch first.
It is forbidden to dispose of and leave within the reach
of children the packing materials as they could be a
source of danger.
It is forbidden to climb onto the appliance and/or to
place any type of object on top of it.
Exposure controls/personal protection
Control parameters
AEL (8-h TWA) = 1000 ml/m³
for each of the two components
Respiratory protection
For gas recovery and maintenance work in tanks, use an independent breathing apparatus
The vapour is heavier than air and can cause suffocation by reducing the oxygen available for respiration
Eye protection
Safety glasses
Hand protection
Rubber gloves
Hygiene measures
Do not smoke

Side effects
Inhalation of vapour at high concentration can produce asphyxiation or cardiac arrhythmia,
irregular pulse, palpitations, reduced circulation and even cardiac arrest.
Long-term toxicity
Has not shown any carcinogenic, teratogenic or mutagenic effects, in experiments performed on animals
