Handling Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION!
During a thunder storm
During a thunderstorm, turn off the power key immediately, then turn off the circuit breaker and
the main power. If this procedure is not followed, fire or electrical shock may be caused.
Do not touch the hot section
The temperature on the cover and top board on the chamber are very hot during operation or just
after operation is completed. Do not touch these sections to avoid a burn injury.
When opening the cover…
Make sure that the pressure gauge reading has decreased to 0(zero) MPa before opening the
cover. Open the cover slow carefully. The high-temperature and pressure vapor blows out if
the cover is opened during high pressure.
When draining water…
The water in the chamber is very hot just after operation is completed. Be careful not to get a
burn injury. Drain the water after the water is sufficiently cooled down.
Do not drain water during operation. The hot water blows out if the drain valve is opened while
the pressure is increasing.
Do not damage the packing on the cover or flange on the chamber
Damage or dirt on these areas may cause the vapor leakage, which may be the cause of burn
injury. Keep these sections always clean. Do not damage them with the rack when taking out
and putting in the sterile samples. The packing degrades wit time. It must be replaced if vapor
leak occurs frequently. In this case consult with the selling office where you purchased or our
sales office.
Replace the packing early
The packing is a consumable. If it shows the sign of damage or hardening, replace it early.
Please consult with the selling office where you purchased or our sales office for the replacement
of packing.
Do not perform procedures other than described in this document
Do not perform procedures other than described in this document. Otherwise an unexpected
accident may occur.
