Safety

Operational safety

➜ Operate the device under a closed ventilated fume hood when working with poten-
tially hazardous substances (see EN 14175 and DIN 12924).
➜
Do not make any unauthorized changes or modifications to the device!
➜ Only use genuine spare parts and accessories, or those expressly approved by the
manufacturer!
➜
Rectify malfunctions or faults on the device immediately.
➜ Shut down the device and disconnect it from the power supply if it is not possible to
eliminate the malfunction or rectify the fault immediately.
➜
Observe all other applicable regulations such as laboratory and workplace guide-
lines, recognized safety technology rules and special local regulations.

Overpressure operation

The distillate and residue are drained applying overpressure, i.e. the used distillate and
residue containers are pressurized accordingly!
When using unsuitable distillate or residue containers, there is a risk that the containers
will rupture or that liquid will escape uncontrolled and contaminate the environment.
There is also a high risk of injury, especially when processing toxic or corrosive
substances!
Only use the distillate and residue containers recommended by Heidolph (see section
"Scope of delivery" on page 153) or others that are sufficiently pressure resistant and
equipped with an adequately dimensioned pressure relief valve.

Biohazard

When processing biohazardous substances, take appropriate measures to prevent
hazards to persons and the environment, including:
➜
Instruction of the personnel regarding the necessary safety measures.
➜ Provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) and instruction of the personnel in
its use.
➜
Marking of the device with the biohazard warning symbol.
The evaluation of corresponding measures such as the marking of a hazardous area,
their implementation, and the training of the relevant personnel is the sole responsi-
bility of the operator!
