temperature extremes.  If the station is moved during storage, it 
must be recertified before use.

Lower the sashes completely and seal work area, the bottom edge and the 
exhaust outlet with plastic sheeting. 

2.

 

Unplug the unit. 

3.

 

Ensure that the station will not be moved or disturbed while in storage.
