1.Safety precautions
Warning・Cautions
Warning
Never operate the unit in an atmosphere containing flammable or explosive gas.
Otherwise, an explosion or a fire may result since the unit is not explosion-proof.
See page 37.
Be sure to connect the ground wire correctly. Otherwise, electrical leak may result and cause an
electrical shock or a fire.
When a smoke or a unusual odor is seen or sensed, immediately turn the electric leakage
breaker on the main unit off and pull out the power plug. A fire or an electrical shock may result.
When these are used bundled, they might overheat causing a fire.
Avoid tightly bend, pull with a strong force or twist to prevent electrical power cords from
damaging. A fire or an electrical shock may result.
Never use an explosive material, a flammable material or a material containing them.
Otherwise, an explosion or a fire may result.
See page 37.
Some parts of the unit are hot during and immediately after operation. Take special care for
possible burning.
Never try to disassemble or alter the unit. A malfunction, a fire or an electrical shock may result.
When a thunder is heard, turn the main power off immediately . A malfunction, fire or an electrical
shock may result.
Never operate the unit in an atmosphere containing flammable or explosive gas
Be sure to connect the ground wire.
Ban on operation when an abnormality occurs
Never use electrical power cords bundled.
Take care not to damage electrical power cords.
Never use an explosive or a flammable material with this unit.
Never try to touch a hot part.
Never try to disassemble or alter the unit.
When a thunder is heard.

1．Be sure to connect the earth.
Bipol
・ Be sure to connect the earth wire (green core wire of the power cord) to the earth wire or
the earth terminal to avoid an electrical shock due to earth leakage.
・ Never connect the earth wire to a gas pipe or a water pipe. Otherwise, a fire may result.
・ Never connect the earth wire to the earth terminal for a telephone line or to a lightening
conductor. Otherwise, a fire or an electrical shock may result.
・ Never use a branching outlet, which might generate heat and cause a danger.
We recommend use of a ground type outlet
tap.

flammable matters
See the section “13. List of dangerous materials” on page 37 for flammable and
explosive gases.
Never operate the unit in an atmosphere containing flammable or explosive gas. Since the unit
is not explosion-proof, an arc is discharged when switching “ON” and “OFF” and during
operation and a fire or an explosion may result.

6．Do not put too many specimens.
The withstand load of a shelf board is 10kg
when the load is evenly distributed.
Put specimens dispersed.
7.Do not set too many specimens.
Too many specimens will prevent correct
temperature control. In order to assure
temperature precision, be sure to use
shelf boards and put specimens
dispersed, and secure at least 30% of
space inside the bath.

8. Connect the power plug to the dedicated outlet
Use an outlet that is suited to the electrical capacity.
When the unit does not start even when power is turned ON, check if main voltage is too low
Electrical capacity
or if the unit is connected to the same power line as other devices. If this is the case, use a
different power line from those for other devices as the power supply.

9. On installation
An earthquake or a shock may cause the unit fall over or move and personal injuries may
result. We recommend exercising safety precautions including selecting an installation place
where less people are passing by.
10. Installation of shelf boards or specimens
The product includes two shelf boards.
One of them is fixed at the lowest stage in the bath. Do not remove this board except when
you install an optional stirrer stand with slide rail.
Set a shelf board at an appropriate position in the bath with included shelf cramps.
The bottom and side surfaces in the bath will become hot. Avoid putting specimens directly
on the bottom surface or allow them to touch with the side surface.
11. Handling of a power cord
Never use electrical power cords bundled. When these are used bundled, they might
overheat causing a fire.
Do not convert, forcibly bend, twist or pull the power cord. Otherwise, a fire or an electrical
shock may result.
Do not place the power cord under a desk or a chair, or sand between objects to avoid it from
being damaged.
Otherwise, a fire or an electrical shock may result.
Do not place the power cord close to a stove or other heat generating device. Sheath of the
cord may burn and result in a fire or an electrical shock.
If the power cord should be damaged (exposure of core wire or disconnection), immediately
turn the ELB off, pull out the power cord (plug) out of the power supply and ask your dealer to
replace the cord. Operating the unit with a damaged power cord may cause a fire or an
electrical shock.
Connect the power cord to an appropriate wall outlet.
