Warning
HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE DANGEROUS: they can cause serious burns to operators and
ignite combustible material.
Techne have taken great care in the design of these units to protect operators from hazards, but
Operators should pay attention to the following points:
• USE CARE AND WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES TO PROTECT HANDS;
• DO NOT put hot objects on or near combustible objects;
• DO NOT operate the unit close to inflammable liquids or gases;
• DO NOT place any liquid directly in your unit;
• At all times USE COMMON SENSE.
Operator Safety
All Operators of Techne equipment must have available the relevant literature needed to
ensure their safety.
It is important that only suitably trained personnel operate this equipment, in accordance with
the instructions contained in this manual and with general safety standards and procedures. If
the equipment is used in a manner not specified by Techne the protection provided by the
equipment to the Operator may be impaired.
All Techne units have been designed to conform to international safety requirements and are
fitted with an overtemperature cutout. On some models, the cutout is adjustable and should be
set to suit the application. On all other models the cutout is preset to protect the unit.
If a safety problem should be encountered, switch off at the mains socket and remove the plug
from the supply.
