2.6.1 Hot Surfaces
For processes that are carried out with temperatures over 55 °C,
there is a danger of burns on hot surfaces.
Since the equipment is intended for applications at high tempera-
tures, it is the responsibility of the users to ensure that they have
sufficient protection.
The motor gets hot during operation. There is a risk of burns if it is
touched.
The thermal block and its adapter get hot during operation. There
is a risk of burns, if touched.
2.6.2 Dangerous Gases
The use or production of dangerous gases i.e. toxic or asphyxiant
gases entails a significant health risk, especially in enclosed
spaces.
In order to prevent high emissions of dangerous gases, the follow-
ing measures must be taken:
The gas connections on the equipment must be checked be-
fore any cultivation processes using dangerous gases are initi-
ated.
The gaskets on the equipment must be checked at regular
intervals and replaced if necessary.
Siphon off exit gas safely.
2.6.3 Flammable or Explosive Substances
The use or production of flammable or explosive substances is not
covered under “intended use” of the equipment, as the equipment
is not explosion-proof.
If the provider intends to use the equipment for such purposes, he
must check its suitability for the planned application with the re-
sponsible local authorities.
2.6.4 Corrosive or Toxic Substances
The use or production of corrosive or toxic substances entails a
significant health risk. As such, special measures must be taken to
protect the users for such applications.
