5 Installation
5.1 Installation site
The installation site must meet the following requirements:
— Firm and level surface
— Space requirements: at least 620 mm x 510 mm (W x D)
— If distilling under vacuum, there must be a fume hood available.
Wherever possible, the Rotavapor® R­100 should be set up inside the fume hood.
If that is not possible for reasons of space, it can also be set up outside if the safety
guard (optional accessory) is fitted and the residual vapors are fed into the fume
hood.
