Appropriate use
The FIREBOY eco is an automatic safety Bunsen burner for heating or flame-
sterilizing suitable laboratory materials. For continuous operation over an
extended period of time, the optionally available long burner head (see “7.1
Accessories” on page 22) must be used.
If the FIREBOY eco is used in a manner not specified by
INTEGRA Biosciences, the protection provided by the FIREBOY eco may be
impaired.
FIREBOY eco may not be altered in design or in any of its safety aspects. If
alterations are made, INTEGRA Biosciences will be relieved from all liability for
any resulting damage.
1.3
Safety features of the FIREBOY eco
The FIREBOY eco is equipped with the following safety devices:
• If the flame has not ignited after about 3 seconds, the flame monitor closes
off the gas valve.
• If the flame is inadvertently extinguished, an attempt will be made
to reignite it. If this is not successful, a message is displayed.
• The burner chamber and the valve housing are monitored by a
temperature sensor. If the temperature exceeds the safety level,
the gas valve is automatically closed off.
