Warnings

WARNING

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.
