1.1.3 Hazard warnings and caution notes on the LCD display

The following symbols are displayed on the left in the LCD display
(see “LCD display” on page 9

):

C

AUTION IN THE "SENSOR" MODE

Flame ignites automatically if object, e.g. hand, comes close to the sensor.

A

TTENTION HOT

Risk of burns from the device still being hot.

BATTERY EMPTY (OPTIONAL)

The symbol of the battery is displayed if no power supply is connected. A
flashing symbol indicates that the battery is almost empty and must be
recharged.

1.2 Appropriate use

The FIREBOY plus is an automatic safety Bunsen burner for heating or flame­sterilizing suitable laboratory materials. For continuous operation over an
extended period of time, the optionally available long burner head (see “7.1
Accessories” on page 24) must be used.

If the FIREBOY plus is used in a manner not specified by
INTEGRA Biosciences, the protection provided by the FIREBOY plus may be
impaired.

FIREBOY plus may not be altered in design or in any of its safety aspects. If
alterations are made, INTEGRA Biosciences will be relieved from all liability for
any resulting damage.

1.3 Safety features of the FIREBOY plus

The FIREBOY plus is equipped with the following safety devices:

• If the flame has not ignited after about 3 seconds, the flame monitor closes
off the gas valve.

• If the flame is inadvertently extinguished, an attempt will be made
to reignite it. If this is not successful, a message is displayed.

• The burner chamber and the valve housing are monitored by
a temperature sensor. If the temperature exceeds the safety level, the gas
valve is automatically closed off.

1.4.2 General safety notes

• Do not carry out any conversions and alterations on the device.

• Defective parts may only be replaced with original INTEGRA Biosciences

equipment.

• Never remove the gas cartridge adapter while it is connected to the gas

The gas supply must be closed off when:

• the device is being transported or installed

• the gas cartridge is being changed

• extended breaks are taken and after the work has been completed

• cleaning and repair work is being performed

• the rechargeable battery or adapter is being replaced

1.4.3 Battery (optional)

• Old NiMH batteries may cause a safety risk. We recommend to replace the
battery after 5 years of use. Also replace the battery if the charging
intervals are unusually short or if the charging takes much longer than
usual (13 hours or more). These are indicators that the battery has
reached the end of its life-cycle.

• NiMH technology bears the risk of cell rupture if the battery was damaged.
Do not expose the battery to heat (> 60°C) and avoid mechanical stress.

• To extend the battery life-cycle, it is recommended to charge the battery
once a month if the FIREBOY plus is not used regularly. If the
FIREBOY plus is not used for more than 3 months, unplug the battery.

1.4.4 Restrictions for use

The following uses of the FIREBOY plus are prohibited:

• rotating it and using it upside down

• using it as a cooker without the optionally available long burner head, see
“7.1

Accessories” on page 24.

• carrying it by the burner head because the device may fall down
