Operational Safety Rules
The following rules must be heeded when working with Heratherm refrigerated incubators:
• Observe the sample weight limits specified for your Heratherm refrigerated incubator as a
whole and its shelving in particular; see “Technical Data” on page 13-1 .
• Arrange the samples evenly throughout the work space, making sure not to place them too
closely to the interior walls to ensure a uniform temperature distribution.
• Do not load your Heratherm refrigerated incubator with substances that exceed the
capabilities of the available lab apparatus and Personal Protection Equipment to provide
sufficient degrees of protection to users and third parties.
• Check the door seal every six months for proper sealing performance and possible damage.
• Do not process any samples containing hazardous chemical substances that may be
released into the ambient air through defective seals or may cause corrosion or other
defects on parts of the Heratherm refrigerated incubator.
• The tempering of defined substances or materials with higher moisture content can result
in increased condensation in the chamber. Measures on page 6-2 must be observed.
