1.5 General safety instructions on installing and operating the incubators BD

and heating/drying ovens ED and FD

With regard to operating the incubators BD and heating/drying ovens ED and FD and to the installation
location, please observe the regulations BGR 120 of the German professional association of the chemical
industry (formerly ZH 1/119 laboratory guidelines of the employers’ liability insurance association) (for
Germany).

The BINDER GmbH is responsible for safety-related unit properties only if skilled electricians or qualified
personnel authorized by BINDER perform all maintenance and repair, and if components relating to
chamber safety are replaced in case of failure with original spare parts.

To operate the unit, use only original BINDER accessories or accessories of third-party suppliers
authorized by BINDER. The user is responsible for any risk when using unauthorized accessories.

CAUTION

Danger of overheating.
Damage of the unit.

∅ Do not install the unit in unventilated recesses.

 Ensure sufficient ventilation for carrying-off the heat.

BD / ED / FD 01/2006 page 13/49

The incubators BD and heating/drying ovens ED and FD must NOT be operated in hazardous locations.

DANGER

Explosion hazard.
Danger of life.

∅ Do NOT operate the unit in potentially explosive areas.

∅ NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the ambiance.

The incubators BD and heating/drying ovens ED and FD do not dispose of any measures of explosion
protection.

DANGER

Explosion hazard.
Danger of life.

∅ Do NOT introduce any substance combustible or explosive at working temperature into

the heating/drying oven.

∅ NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the inner chamber.

Any solvent contained in the charging material must not be explosive or inflammable. I.e., irrespective of
the solvent concentration in the steam room, NO explosive mixture with air will form. The temperature
inside the chamber must lie below the flash point or below the sublimation point of the charging material.
Keep informed about the physical and chemical properties of the charging material, as well as the
contained moisture constituent and its behavior under addition of heat energy.

Keep informed about any potential health risks caused by the charging material, the contained moisture
constituent or by reaction products that may arise during the temperature process. Take adequate
measures to exclude such risks prior to putting the multifunctional heating/drying oven into operation.

DANGER

Electrical hazard.
Danger of life.

∅ The unit must NOT become wet during operation or maintenance.

The multifunctional heating/drying ovens have been produced in accordance to the VDE regulations and
were routinely tested in accordance to VDE 0411.

CAUTION

The inner chamber, the outgoing air pipe, and the door window (option) will become
hot during operation.

Danger of burning.

∅ Do NOT touch the inner surfaces, the door window, the access ports, and the charging

material during operation.

BD / ED / FD 01/2006 page 14/49

1.6 Intended use

1.6.1 Incubators BD

The incubators BD are designed for exact temperation of harmless materials. Because of their precise
temperature accuracy these devices are especially useful for incubation of cultures at a standard
temperature of 37°C. Any solvent content must not be explosive or flammable. A mixture of any
component of the charging material with air must NOT be explosive. The operating temperature must lie
below the flash point or below the sublimation point of the charging material.

Other applications are not approved.

Do NOT use the unit for drying purpose, especially if greater quantities of steam leading to condensation
will be set free.

Respecting the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance
work (chap. 10) is part of the intended use.

1.6.2 Heating/drying ovens ED and FD

The heating/drying ovens ED and FD are suitable for drying and heat treatment of solid or pulverized
charging material, as well as bulk material, using the supply of heat. The solvent content must not be
explosive or flammable. A mixture of any component of the charging material with air must NOT be
explosive. The operating temperature must lie below the flash point or below the sublimation point of the
charging material.

Other applications are not approved.

Do NOT use the unit for drying purpose, especially if greater quantities of steam leading to condensation
will be set free.

Due to the special demands of the Medical Device Directive (MDD) this ovens are not qualified for
sterilization of medical devices as defined by the directive 93/42/EWG.

Respecting the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance
work (chap. 10) is part of the intended use.

2. Warranty

BINDER products are manufactured with great care and checked carefully prior to delivery (VDE-piece
checked).

1. Should your BINDER product have a material defect or manufacturing fault, we shall repair it – as

long as it is a new BINDER product – free of charge if the defect or fault occurs within 12 months
after delivery. This period will be extended to 24 months, starting from delivery, provided that all
maintenance and potential repair work within the first 12 months is carried out by us or authorized
service stations.

2. Should you discover a defect or fault in your BINDER product within the aforementioned period,

please inform the company from which you purchased the BINDER product or BINDER directly.

3. All above-mentioned periods or deadlines shall begin with the delivery of a new BINDER product to

the end buyer. Producing the invoice or delivery note shall bring evidence of deadline keeping.

4. In case a BINDER product has a defect or fault, we shall either replace the defective product with a

new one or repair the defective product at our discretion (so called supplementary performance –
“Nacherfüllung”). All parts replaced in the course of such repair shall become our property.
Deadlines mentioned under above number 1 shall not be prolonged by repair work or substitution. In
case supplementary performance should fail, usual warranty rights according to German Law
(withdrawal from contract or price reduction) shall apply, provided the defect or fault occurs within
the first 12 months. Should the 24 month-period be relevant and supplementary performance fail,
you shall only be entitled to a price reduction.
