Warranty
The manufacturer agrees to correct for the original user of the product, either by repair (using new or refurbished parts), or at the manufacturer’s election, by replacement (with a new or refurbished product), any defects in material or workmanship which develop during the warranty period. The standard warranty is twelve (12) months after delivery of the product for Non­Consumable and Electrical parts, excluding Filters and other Consumables. In the event of replacement, the replacement unit will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or ninety (90) days, whichever is longer. For purposes of this limited warranty, “refurbished” means a product or part that has been returned to its original specifications. In the event of a defect, these are your exclusive remedies.
If the product should require service, contact the manufacturer’s/supplier’s office for instructions. When return of the product is necessary, a return authorization number is assigned and the product should be shipped, transportation charges pre-paid, in either its original packaging or packaging affording an equal degree of protection to the indicated service center. To ensure prompt handling, the return authorization number must be placed on the outside of the package. A detailed explanation of the defect should be enclosed with the item. The warranty shall not apply if the defect or malfunction was caused by accident, neglect, unreasonable use, improper service, acts of God, modification by any party other than Cole-Parmer, or other causes not arising out of defects in material or workmanship.

I . Product Information
Cole-Parmer Vertical laminar flow cabinets offer proven protection for your products and processes where operator protection is not necessary. They are suitable for applications which require ISO Class 5 air cleanliness within the work zone as per ISO 14644-1 (equivalent to Class 100 per US Federal Standard 209E).
Airflow Pattern Inside the Cabinet
Room air is taken in from the top of the cabinet through a disposable pre-filter with 85% air resistance, serving to trap larger particles and increase the life of the main filter. Air is forced evenly across an H14 HEPA/ ULPA-filtered laminar flow air stream within the cabinet, diluting and flushing all airborne contaminants from the interior, resulting in a stream of clean laminar air within the work area. A nominal filter face velocity of 0.45 m/s or 90 fpm ensures that there is a sufficient number of air changes within the enclosed area of the cabinet in order to maintain cleanliness. The purified air travels across the internal work zone of the cabinet in a vertical or horizontal unidirectional stream, leaving the main work chamber across the entire open front of the cabinet.

II . Unpacking Your Cabinet
This chapter aims to provide relevant information on how to handle the cabinet properly upon receipt. Failure to follow these instructions may damage the cabinet. We strongly advise you to read this chapter carefully before proceeding further.
2.1 Step-By-Step Procedure
1. Inspecting the Crate, Pallet, Boxes
» Upon receipt of your new cabinet, inspect all cartons. If there is any visible damage to the exterior please
contact our customer service.
2. Moving the Pallet
» The pallet is designed to protect the cabinet from any foreseeable circumstances. However, excessive
impact on the boxes or pallet may also damage the cabinet. Prevent any direct impact or hitting to the pallet when moving.
» When lifting the pallet, always ensure that the floor jack or mechanical lift truck has fully entered under
the pallet in order to achieve stability. Failure to do so will increase the risk of the pallet falling off the floor jack or mechanical lift truck during handling. Please use a suitable extension bar when necessary.
3. Opening the Boxes
» If you did not receive one or more of the parts listed on the packing checklist, or if any of the items are
damaged, please contact our customer service.
4. Removing the Packaging Material
» The cabinet is protected by extruded polystyrene foam, cardboard and/or shrink-wrap. » If you find any damage during this stage of unpacking please refer to please contact our customer
service.
» We recommend leaving the cabinet secured with straps to the pallet until the cabinet is located in its
approximate final position to facilitate ease and safety in handling.
NOTE: Choosing the best location for your cabinet in order to achieve optimum operating performance is determined by a number of factors. Please refer to the next chapter for some guidelines.
5. Moving the Cabinet
» When lifting the pallet with the cabinet, always ensure that the floor jack or mechanical lift truck has fully
entered under the pallet. This is to increase the stability of the cabinet and reduce the risk of the cabinet falling down. Please use a suitable extension bar when necessary. During the moving of the cabinet, ensure there is enough distance between the supports of the pallet and the ground. Dragging the pallet against the ground will damage the pallet and possibly your new cabinet.
» When removing cabinet from pallet or placing cabinet onto pallet, use at least two people.
6. Removing the Strapping
» Remove the strapping by cutting it at a safe position to prevent scratching the surface of your new
cabinet.
» Do not discard the packaging material for your cabinet until you have checked all of the components,
installed and tested the unit.
7. Lifting the Cabinet
» The cabinet can be lifted in two sections: The HEAD unit and ENCLOSURE. » Install the cabinet on the existing work surface or Cole-Parmer support stand (if ordered).
NOTE:
» When installing the cabinet onto an existing work surface, ensure that the structure can safely support the
combined weight of the cabinet and any related equipment. Some modifications to the work surface may be necessary.
» The work surface should be smooth, non-porous and resistant to the disinfectants and chemicals used
in conjunction with the cabinet.
