To avoid electrical shock, always:

1. Use a properly grounded electrical outlet of correct voltage and current handling capacity.

2. Disconnect from power supply before servicing.

To avoid personal injury:

1. Do not use in the presence of flammable or combustible materials; fire or explosion may result. This device contains components which may ignite such materials.

2. Replace the top immediately if damaged by etching, scratching or chipping. A damaged top can break in use.

3. Do not use metal foil on hot plate. Do not use metal containers, sand bath or other insulating material on the hot plate — Top plate can be damaged and shock hazard can exist.

4. Do not remove or modify grounded power plug. Use only properly grounded outlets to avoid shock hazard. Not rated for use in hazardous atmospheres.

5. Use caution when heating volatile materials; top surface and element can reach the “Flash Point Temperature” of many chemicals. These hot plates are not explosion proof. Fire or explosion may result. Unit contains components which may ignite such materials.

6. Use appropriate hand and eye protection when handling hazardous chemicals.

7. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

WARNINGS

Please note the following WARNINGS:

WARNING

This warning is presented for compliance with California Proposition 65 and other regulatory agencies and only applies to the insulation in this product. This product contains refractory ceramic, refractory ceramic fiber or fiberglass insulation, which can produce respirable dust or fibers during disassembly. Dust or fibers can cause irritation and can aggravate preexisting respiratory diseases. Refractory ceramic and refractory ceramic fibers (after reaching 1000°C) contain crystalline silica, which can cause lung damage (silicosis). The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified refractory ceramic fiber and fiberglass as possibly carcinogenic (Group 2B), and crystalline silica as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).

The insulating materials can be located in the door, the hearth collar, in the chamber of the product or under the hot plate top. Tests performed by the manufacturer indicate that there is no risk of exposure to dust or respirable fibers resulting from operation of this product under normal conditions. However, there may be a risk of exposure to respirable dust or fibers when repairing or maintaining the insulating materials, or when otherwise disturbing them in a manner which causes release of dust or fibers. By using proper handling procedures and protective equipment you can work safely with these insulating materials and minimize any exposure. Refer to the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for information regarding proper handling and recommended protective equipment. For additional MSDS copies, or additional information concerning the handling of refractory ceramic products, please contact the Customer Service Department at Barnstead|Thermolyne Corporation at 1-800-553-0039.
