WARNING
This label appears on the cover and near where vials are inserted for analysis.
The surface temperature of the plate may reach 200 degrees Celsius.
This temperature may cause burns to unprotected flesh.
Always follow lab safety procedures when loading, unloading, or handling
vials.
Vials must be filled prior to loading into the Vial Heater Module. Do not fill the vial to the very top, or
it may spill sample onto the heating block. If sample is spilled onto the heating block, it may be
baked on, which must be avoided.
Use caution when loading and unloading vials to prevent any spills or drips. If sample is spilled onto
the Vial Heater Module, immediately turn power off, unplug the unit, and let it cool to room
temperature.
Once cool, the sample spill should be cleaned using appropriate solvents, and following all
recommended safety precautions.
