Safety Precautions
Flammable Hazard: Static electricity is to be avoided as it is a spark hazard.
Hot Surfaces: Do not touch the extraction vessel during operation. The surface
can exceed 70°C (158°F).
Failure to observe this caution may result in injury.
Hazardous Voltages: Do not operate the instrument with the electrical
compartment open. Hazardous voltages are present during operation.
Failure to
observe this caution may result in electrical shock or electrocution.
Hazardous Materials: The ANKOM
XT15 Extraction System comes equipped with
a charcoal filter which traps any residual vapor in the vent system. By properly
maintaining the charcoal filter, volatiles will not escape the vent system. We
recommend replacement of the filter every 3 months or after 100 extraction runs.
Trace amounts of vapor may also be present when samples are removed. It is
recommended that the ANKOM
XT15
Extraction System be placed in a well
ventilated environment, away from any heat or ignition sources. Organic
solvents may be flammable. Follow safe laboratory practices according to both
local and federal regulations when installing this instrument and when handling
any organic solvents.
