Never operate your instrument from a power outlet that has no ground
connection. Never use a mains supply cable other than the mains supply cable
designed for your region.

General
Thermal microplate holders
Microplate holders will be hot when touched after use.
Do not handle the thermal microplate holder from its cover since it will come
off.
The covers of the thermal microplate holders are not spring-loaded, but you
should take care not to trap your fingers when closing the cover of the holder.
Avoid bumping the microplate holder while inserting it into the slot.
Viewing programmed processing parameters
You can only view programmed processing parameters while in the
programming mode. When you review the parameters, ensure you do not
unintentionally change the programmed values. Refer to Section 6.7.
Splashing from overfilled wells
Splashing may occur if you use shaking with wells that contain too much liquid
for a given speed. To avoid splashing and potential cross contamination from
well to well, do not overfill wells for a given shaking speed setting.
When the well is filled to 50% of its nominal volume, the shake speed setting
should not exceed value 4. It is recommended to use the setting 3 in most
cases. Refer to Section 6.2.
Splashing, aerosols and evaporation
To minimize the possibility of splashing, aerosols and evaporation during
shaking and incubation, it is recommended you use microplate sealers.
Spills
Wipe up all spills of liquids immediately from all surfaces of the instrument to
prevent leakage into the electronics and mechanics of the instrument. Clean
and decontaminate the surfaces if necessary. Refer to Section 7.1.2.
Incubation time
Do not remove the thermal microplate holder until the incubation time has
elapsed. If you remove the microplate holder from the slot before the
incubation time has elapsed, the incubation timer does not stop and continues
to count down causing tracking of actual incubation time to be lost. Refer to
Section 6.4.3.6.
During shaking
Do not place the microplate holder in or remove it from the instrument while
the instrument is shaking. This may damage the shaking mechanism.
