Start-up and functions, functional test
Qualified persons only should install and start-up the device and instruct user's personnel.
When installing the device it has to be considered that other heating sources, fans and cold walls may
change the effect of the device. Therefore a distance of 1 m should be kept clear and the bassinet should
be protected from direct sunlight. Furthermore the device should not be placed in draughts (e.g. air
condition) and at windows. Fluids and inflammable agents must not be brought into touch with the radiant
warmer. In order to avoid the risk of fire there must not be any inflammable material (e.g. curtains) within an
area of 70 cm around the radiant warmer.
Prior to start-up all components of the device must be checked for correct and secure position.
Clean the device in cold condition according to chapter "Cleaning and Disinfection" (page 32).
The functions of the moving mechanical components should be checked as follows:
Move the bassinet to the lowest and highest position by means of the foot pedals (1.1). Make sure that no
items or devices are placed within in the range of the height adjustment.
