SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
QUICK START GUIDE - ENGLISH
This guide provides a brief overview of the operation of Memmert appliances and the safety regulations that you must be observed.
These instructions contain only basic information that is relevant to your appliance for initial information. For detailed descriptions
of individual functions, please refer to the operating manual of your appliance. Information on the type of appliance, size and power
data can be obtained directly from the type plate on the appliance. Detailed instructions for your device can be found in PDF format
on the supplied USB stick (only devices with TwinDISPLAY) or on the Internet at:
www.memmert.com/user-manuals
Always read the complete operating instructions before working with the device!
Danger of suffocation. CO2 can have a suffocating effect in high con-
centrations. In normal operation, the appliance emits small amounts of
CO2 to its surroundings. You should therefore ensure that the room in
which it is installed is properly ventilated. Always close the stop valve
or pressure reducer on the gas bottle if the appliance is currently not
in operation.
WARNING
After removing covers, live parts may be exposed. You may receive an
electric shock if you touch these parts. Disconnect the mains plug be-
fore removing any covers. Only electrical technicians may work on the
electrical equipment of the appliances.
WARNING
Scan for detailed
informations!
Gas bottles may burst or explode at high temperatures. Keep the gas
bottles away from open fl ames. Store gas bottles below 50 °C and
ensure that the location is always well ventilated. Prevent water from
penetrating as well as backfl ow into the gas bottles. It is essential that
you read the safety notes and instructions of the gas supplier.
WARNING
If the door is open while the appliance is in operation, the appliance
may overheat and pose a fire hazard. Do not leave the door open during
operation.
WARNING
High concentrations of CO2 can cause cold burns or frostbite. Avoid contact
with CO2 gas to the eyes and skin.
CAUTION
WARNING
When loading the appliance with an unsuitable load, poisonous or ex-
plosive vapours or gases may be produced. This could cause the appli-
ance to explode, and persons could be severely injured or poisoned. The
appliance may only be loaded with materials/test objects which do not
form any toxic or explosive vapours when heated up.
In case of appliances of a certain size, you can get accidentally locked
in, which is life-threatening. Do not climb into the appliance.
WARNING
Risk of poisoning due to slow refrigerant leakage. If the filling quantity
of CO2 is greater than the maximum filling quantity (filling quantity 375
g), a CO2 warning device and ventilation in machine rooms must be pro-
vided. ICH eco/ICH L eco refrigeration systems may only be installed in
rooms of at least 4 m³.
WARNING
UV light is a danger to your eyes. Your eyes could be injured by UV
light if you do not wear protection. Always wear UV safety goggles
when opening the door of the ICH L / ICH L eco. This is indicated by
the warning signs on the door.
