2 Safety
The device has been built using state art techniques and in accordance with the recognized safety regulations. There are no
risks or hazards associated with the use of this device if used
according to the instructions.
2.1 Symbols
Stop
Information about hazards which can lead to serious material
damage or cause serious or potentially fatal injury.
Warning
Information about hazards which can be harmful to your health
and lead to material damage.
Please note
Information about technical requirements. Non-obser vance can
lead to malfunctions, inefficiency and lost production.
2.2 Requirements to be met by the customer
The device may only be used by laboratory personnel and other
persons who, due to their training or experience, can recognize
the hazards associated with operating the device.
Personnel without this type of training or persons currently in
training require careful instruction. This instruction can be considered to be the basis for this instruction manual.
When working with solvents whose composition is not known,
it is the management’s responsibility to obtain information from
the appropriate persons about possible hazards associated with
using such solvents.
2.3 Proper use
The device has been designed and built as a laboratory device.
Appropriate uses of the device are for the drying, distillation,
sublimation and freeze-drying of small quantities of substance
from room temperature up to 300°C.

2.4 Improper use
Using the device for any other purpose other than those stated
above or using in any application that does not correspond to
the technical data is considered to be improper usage.
Any damage resulting from such use is the sole responsibility
of the operator.
Using the device in the following situations is especially prohibi ted:
• Using the device in rooms which require explosion-proof
equipment.
• Testingsampleswhich,throughimpact,friction,heatorspar-
king, may explode or ignite (for example, explosives, etc.).
• Usinginconjunctionwithsolventscontainingperoxides
2.5 General hazards
General hazards arise from:
• Whenusingwithmixtureswithunknowncompositionorim-
puri ties.
• Flammablesolvents(attendtheburningpoint)
• Toxicgases,whichcanresultduringoperation.
• Flammablegasesorsolventfumesinoraroundthedevice.
• Damagedglassware.
• When the device is too close to the wall (see Chapter 4,
Putting into operation)
• Touchingtheheatingelements,causingburns.
• Squeezingsbyinappropriateretractingandextendingofthe
drive or adjustment of the heating angle.
• Storageoftheunitinconnedplaceswhenhot.
Rotation drive
Care must be taken to ensure that hair, clothing, jewelry or any
other article is prevented from entering any rotating parts of
the instrument.
Removing the cover using common hand tools is - except for
authorized maintenance personnel, prohibited. The device may
not be put into operation if the glassware is damaged.
It may be fatal if any high voltage parts of the device are touched!
Use of dry ice
Dry ice can cause serious burns if allowed to come into contact
with skin or eyes. Appropriate protective clothing must be worn.
NB Dry ice will foam strongly if allowed to come into contact
with acetone.

2.6 Safety measures
It is required that you wear protective gear such as pro tective
glasses, gloves and a lab coat.
These instructions must be available at all times to the operating
personnel at the location where the device has been installed,
as it is considered to be a component of the glass oven. This
is al so true of the copies of the in s tructions in other languages,
which may be ordered separately at a later date.
Modifications
Modifications to the device or to the replacement parts or acces sories, as well as using any replacement parts or acces sories
ot her than those mentioned in these in struc tions, is only allo wed
with the express written consent of Büchi Labortechnik AG.
Responsibilities of the Management
The management is responsible for instructing its per son nel. To
help in this task, you can order these instructions in several
other languages.
Protective Shield
The protective shield mounted on the device does not serve to
completely protect the operator from coming into contact with
hot glass elements. It is only there to protect the operator from
burns occurring due to carelessness.
2.7 Over-temperature protection
The device has an over-temperature cut-out for the protection
of samples and the oven. This protective device switches the
heating off in the event of the oven temperature reaching 320°C:

3.1 Working with the glass ovens
The core of the glass oven comprises two borosilicate glass
tubes lying one within the other. The outer tube (1) protects
against damage to the heating tube, and at the same time
prevents contact with parts that are electrically live. A metal
screen (2) around the outer jacket provides additional protection. The transparent, electrically conductive semi-conductor
coating, does the actual heating. Temperatures up to 300°C
are attained, the oven temperature being monitored via an
integral temperature sensor (4). A lock nut (5) can be used
to tilt the oven and to secure it in a suitable position.
The basic equipment can be used for drying,
distilling and sublimating, if the appropriate accessories are used.
To avoid thermal damage to, or decomposition of, samples
requires gentle heating techniques. Conventionally, this has
been done by heating the sample via an intermediate medium
(e.g. water or oil) whose temperature is regulated just above
the required setpoint for the sample. In bulb-tube distillations,
a semi-conductor coating is used to provide direct, yet still
gentle, heating. The product may be heated directly because
the heat source provides evenly across the entire surface
of the heater. Because the thermal capacity and the thermal
conductivity of the vapour-coated glass are significantly better than those of the gas/atmosphere outside, most of the
heat given off is taken up by the glass and radiated inwards.
There are further advantages in addition to the gentle heating:
Because 75% of the heat is supplied to the product through
radiation and only 25% via heated gas, the oven heats up
very quickly and also cools down relatively quickly when it is
switched off. In addition, because the semi-conductor is fully
transparent, the sample can be observed during the drying
process, so that any decomposition can be identified quickly
and any necessary countermeasures can be taken in time.
