A dedicated outlet with a circuit breaker rated at 20 amps should be located as close as possible to the right, rear side of the bench in its final location. If your electrical outlet is distant from this location, contact Labconco’s Product Service Department for information on longer cords.
Do not use any detachable power cord that is not adequately
!rated for the unit.

Service Line Requirements
All service lines to the XT Clean Bench should be quarter inch outside diameter, metal, and equipped with an easily accessible shut-off valve should disconnection be required. If the service line pressure exceeds 40 PSI, it must be equipped with a pressure regulator to reduce the line pressure.
The use of flammable gases or solvents should be avoided in
!the clean bench. Open flames in the cabinet will disrupt the laminar airflow in the bench. If you feel that your procedure requires the use of an open flame or flammable materials, contact the appropriate safety official.
