u
Do not run any cables under the heating bath.
Firm and level surface
Space requirements: at least 620 mm x 510 mm (W x D)

(Note: it must be possible to switch off the equipment involved in the distillation
process and disconnect the electrical connections at any time.)
If distilling under vacuum, there must be fume extraction apparatus available.
Wherever possible, the Rotavapor® R-300 should be set up inside a fume hood. If
that is not possible for reasons of space, it can also be set up outside if the safety
guard (optional accessory) is fitted and the residual vapors are fed into the fume
hood.
