2.1

Unpacking and Handling

Remove the shelves and runners from the packaging before attempting to move the
equipment.

When unpacking and handling the product, always lift it by its base. Do not use the
door or any other projecting cover or component to support the equipment when
moving it. Use two or more people to carry the product where possible.

Carefully remove any packing material from inside and around the product before use.
Avoid damaging the surrounding insulation when removing packing materials.

Locate the shelves and runners as required.

2.2

Siting and Setting Up

Place the product on a level surface in a well ventilated area.

Site away from other sources of heat and on a non-flammable surface that is resistant
to accidental spillage or hot materials.

The surface on which the equipment is mounted should be stable and not subject to
movement or vibrations.

The height of the mounting surface is important to avoid operator strain when loading
and unloading samples.

Unless otherwise stated elsewhere in this manual, ensure that there is

at least 150

mm

of free space around the back and sides of the product. Clear space is required

above the product to dissipate heat.
