Safety Regulations
1.2 Product safety and dangers
ICH cooled incubators are technically sophisticated, manufactured using high-quality materials
and subject to many hours of testing in the factory. They contain the latest technology and
comply with recognised technical safety regulations. However, there are still dangers involved,
even when the appliance is used as intended. These dangers are described below.
Warning!
After removing covers, live parts may be exposed. You may receive
an electric shock if you touch these parts. Disconnect the mains plug
before removing any covers.
Any work inside the unit may only be performed by qualified electri-
cians.
Warning!
When loading the chamber with an unsuitable load, poisonous or
explosive vapours or gases may be produced. This could cause the
chamber to explode, and people could be badly injured or poisoned.
The chamber may only be loaded with materials/test objects which
do not form any poisonous or explosive vapours when heated up
(see also Chapter Intended use on page 15 ).
1.2.1 Additional safety regulations for cooled incubators with interior UV
lighting
Warning!
UV light is a danger to your eyes. Your eyes could be injured by UV
light if you do not wear protection. Always wear UV safety goggles
when you open the door of the cooled incubator with interior UV
lighting. This is indicated by the warning signs on the door (refer to
page 8 ).
