Operation
The inner surface of the unit is polished and vacuum-clean. Avoid contamination of the inner surface otherwise the
specimens may become contaminated during the baking cycle.
C a u t i o n !
Always wear clean lint-free gloves when handling the unit and the specimens! Be sure the working desk is free from
impurities that can cause the unit or specimen contamination.
The working desk must be covered with a material with a melting temperature higher than 250 °C!
W A R N I N G !
Do not look directly at the operating bulb for any period of time! Doing so may cause serious eye injury.
Risk of burning! For support tray manipulation (sample loading, for instance), always use the special tool delivered!
Never touch the inner surface of the baking unit, including the trays and specimens, with bare hands or hands in gloves.
