3.5 Danger Information

WARNING

The moisture analyser is used to analyse the moisture content of materials.
This instrument must be used exclusively for this purpose. Any other usage
may cause a risk to personnel, damage to the equipment or other material
damage.

The moisture analyser should be used mainly for the drying of aqueous
substances.

The moisture analyser may not be used in a hazardous area.

The appliance may only be operated and maintained by trained personnel.

Carefully read this operation manual before setup and commissioning, even if
you are already familiar with KERN appliances.

This moisture analyser is a robust precision instrument, however, it must be
handled with care to ensure many years of trouble-free operation.

Never make any modifications or design changes to the equipment
whatsoever. Always use original spare parts and accessories.
