Putting into Operation

4.2.4 Gas connection

(only for models with CO

2

supply)

Warning!

Danger of suffocation: CO

2

can have a suffocating effect in high

concentrations. In normal operation, the cooled incubator gives

off small amounts of CO

2

to its surroundings. You should therefore

ensure that the room in which it is installed is properly ventilated.
Warning!

High concentrations of CO

2

can cause cold burns or frostbite. Avoid

contact with CO

2

gas to the eyes and skin.

Warning!

Gas bottles may burst or explode at high temperature. Keep the

gas bottles away from open flames. Store gas bottles at lower than

50 °C in a well-ventilated location. Prevent water from penetrating

as well as backflow into the gas bottles. It is essential that you read

the safety notes and regulations of the gas suppliers.

Attach the supplied pressure tube to the gas

bottle (pressure regulator) and to the "CO

2

"

connection on the rear of the appliance

( Fig. 10 and page 14 ).
