The incubator with forced convection BF does not dispose of any measures of explosion protection.
DANGER
Explosion hazard.
Danger of death.
∅
Do NOT introduce any substance into the incubator which is combustible or explosive at
working temperature.
∅ NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the inner chamber.
Any solvent contained in the charging material must not be explosive or inflammable. I.e., irrespective of
the solvent concentration in the steam room, NO explosive mixture with air must form. The temperature
inside the chamber must lie below the flash point or below the sublimation point of the charging material.
Familiarize yourself with the physical and chemical properties of the charging material, as well as the
contained moisture constituent and its behavior with the addition of heat energy.
Familiarize yourself with any potential health risks caused by the charging material, the contained moisture
constituent or by reaction products that may arise during the temperature process. Take adequate
measures to exclude such risks prior to putting the incubator with forced convection into operation.
DANGER
Electrical hazard.
Danger of death.
∅
The unit must NOT become wet during operation or maintenance.
The incubators with forced convection BF were produced in accordance with VDE regulations and were
routinely tested in accordance to VDE 0411-1 (IEC 61010-1).
During and shortly after operation, the temperature of the inner surfaces almost equals the set-point.
CAUTION
The glass doors, the glass door handles, the inner chamber, the exhaust duct, and
the door gaskets will become hot during operation.
Danger of burning.
∅
Do NOT touch the glass doors, the inner surfaces, the exhaust duct, the door gaskets or
the charging material during operation.
1.6 Intended use
The incubators with forced convection BF are suitable for exact temperation of harmless materials.
Because of their precise temperature accuracy these devices are especially useful for incubation of
cultures at a standard temperature of 37 °C / 98.6 °F. Any solvent content must not be explosive or
flammable. A mixture of any component of the charging material with air must NOT be explosive. The
operating temperature must lie below the flash point or below the sublimation point of the charging
material.
Other applications are not approved.
The incubators with forced convection BF are not classified as medical devices as defined by the
Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC.
Do NOT use the unit for drying processes when large quantities of vapor would form and result in
condensation.
