The Two and Six-Place Kjeldahl Distillation Systems do not include a
surrounding safety enclosure. Labconco advises installing these products in a
fume hood, or if installed on the open laboratory bench, a safety shield should be
placed in front of the burners. High heat and boiling Sodium Hydroxide present a
safety hazard to personnel in close proximately to the Kjeldahl Distillation
Systems. Labconco also recommends spot exhaust ventilation for an open bench
installation to remove excess heat produced by the heaters.
