General Safety Precautions
•
Always keep these instructions to hand. They should remain with the
machine in the event it is moved or the regular operator is replaced.
•
This machine is designed for storing and transporting biological products,
and is intended exclusively for professional use in farms and laboratories. It
must only be used in accordance with these instructions and its design
should not be adapted or modified to fit other applications, such as the
storage of foodstuffs.
•
Any repairs made to this machine must only be carried out by persons
authorised by the manufacturer. Any parts or accessories that may be
provided by the manufacturer must be used for repair purposes only. Failure
to comply with these instructions may damage the machine or cause bodily
injury.
•
The electricity supply to the machine is only cut off when it has been
unplugged at the socket.
Unplug the machine before cleaning it or carrying out any maintenance
work. Do not unplug it by pulling on the power cable. If the plug is difficult
to access, cut off the power supply from the distribution board or fuse box.
•
Make sure the power cable is not damaged or stripped and that the copper
conductors have not been exposed, as this could lead to a risk of
electrocution. If the cable is suffering from any of the above defects, replace
it with a new one.
•
This machine is heavy. Two people are required in order to move it.
•
Keep the machine in a well-ventilated location. This will improve its
performance and ensure any leaks of refrigerant gas will not pose a health
hazard.
•
Keep the machine away from external sources of heat or cold, and ensure
there is no risk of liquids being splashed or spilled onto it.
•
Make sure the machine sits perfectly flat and there is no risk of it falling or
being knocked over.
