The lab washer is only designed to
operate with water and the
recommended processing chemicals.
The machine must NOT be operated
with organic solvents or flammable
liquids. This may cause an explosion or
damage to rubber and plastic
components, which in turn allows liquid
substances to leak out.
~
Do not stand, sit or lean on the
opened machine door. This could
cause the lab washer to tip over,
resulting in injuries and damage.
~
Do not touch the heating elements
during or directly after the end of a
program, burns could result. The
elements remain hot for some time after
the end of the program.
~
The water in the lab washer must not
be used as drinking water.

sharp, pointed ends. Carefully position
these items in the machine, so that you
will not hurt yourself or create dangers
for other operators.

When using this machine regard the
high temperatures and be especially
careful not to scald or burn yourself.

electrical lock, a danger of burning,
scalding or corrosion exists or when
using disinfection agents, the inhalation
of toxic fumes. Let baskets and inserts
cool. Empty any water from parts into
the wash cabinet.
~
If toxic chemical substances can
form in the wash water during
processing, the door seal and, if
applicable, the function of the steam
condensor must be checked regularly.
In that case, opening the lab washer
door during a program interruption can
be dangerous.
~
If you are exposed to toxic vapors or
processing chemicals, consult the
manufacturer's material safety data
sheets for emergency procedures.
