3. Safety Precautions
Potential hazards associated with use of the SU780UE freezer may impact the safety
of persons in the workplace in which the freezer is installed. This includes persons
who operate the freezer, and other personnel in its vicinity. The freezer itself may also
be damaged and / or its warranty voided by improper operation or usage. It is very
important that all personnel that install, operate, transport or place the freezer into
storage read this entire manual to understand those hazards. Likewise, it is imperative
to place this manual for ready reference adjacent to the freezer at all times.
Specific precautions are included in each section of this operating manual. However,
several important general precautions must be observed and are described below.
•
Do not
disassemble, modify or repair.* There are no user serviceable parts inside the
freezer unit. Contact Stirling Ultracold for authorized repair procedures as required.
•
Do not
immerse in water, pour water on the unit, or operate where water may drip
or fall on the unit. Operation under extreme environmental conditions, e.g., in very
high humidity environments (RH 85% or more) also may lead to condensation or
water intrusion.*
•
Warning:
Unauthorized modification to the cabinet, controls or free-piston Stirling
engine will void all warranty provisions.
•
Do not
cut, change or modify the power cable.*
•
Do not
store flammable items such as gasoline, thinner or solvents in the freezer.
•
The freezer is NOT rated as an explosion-proof freezer.
•
Do not
use hard and/or sharp objects, such as knives, screwdrivers, etc. to remove
any frost or ice that has accumulated on the inside of the freezer. The inside panels
are heat exchangers and can be damaged. Defrosting the cabinet is described later
in this operating manual.
•
Do not
use solvents to clean the panel or the outside or inside of the freezer.
*Doing so will void the warranty.
