HEPA filters only remove particulate matter. Operations generating volatile
toxic chemicals are prohibited. The media of the filter is fragile and should
not be touched. Avoid puncturing the HEPA filter during installation or
normal operation. If you suspect that a HEPA filter has been damaged, DO
NOT use the cabinet; contact Labconco at 800-821-5525 or 816-333-8811 for
further information.
The HEPA filters in the cabinet will gradually accumulate airborne
particulate matter from the items placed in the cabinet. The rate of
accumulation will depend upon the cleanliness of the air, operating time and
the nature of items being dried in the cabinet.
Do not operate the cabinet without all of the appropriate filters in place. If an
odor is detected coming out of the granular activated carbon, it needs to be
replaced.
The weight limit for the fold down shelves is 15 lbs (6.8 kg), and the floor of
the cabinet and lower storage area is 20 lbs (9.1 kg).
When surface disinfecting the cabinet:
• Always wear appropriate personnel protective equipment.
• NEVER use high pressure water to clean the liner; this practice could
generate biohazardous aerosols.
• NEVER spray disinfectants into the blower intake at the top of the
liner; this may damage the blower.
• Avoid splashing the disinfecting solution on skin or clothing.
• Ensure adequate room ventilation.
• Carefully follow the disinfectant’s safety instructions.
• Always dispose of disinfecting solutions in accordance with local and
national laws.
• DO NOT allow bleach or disinfectants with high concentrations of
free chlorine to contact the stainless steel components of the
cabinet for a long period of time. Free chlorine will corrode
stainless steel after extended contact.
When handling used filters or prefilters, always wear appropriate personnel
protective equipment.
