HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE DANGEROUS: they can cause
serious burns to operators and ignite combustible material.

to protect operators from hazards, but users should pay
attention to the following points:
•
USE CARE AND WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES TO
PROTECT HANDS;
•
DO NOT put hot objects on or near combustible
objects;
•
DO NOT operate the unit close to inflammable liquids
or gases;
•
DO NOT place any liquid directly in your unit;
•
At all times USE COMMON SENSE.
Operator Safety
All users of Techne equipment must have available the
relevant literature needed to ensure their safety.
It is important that only suitably trained personnel operate
this equipment, in accordance with the instructions
contained in this manual and with general safety standards
and procedures. If the equipment is used in a manner not
specified by Techne the protection provided by the
equipment to the user may be impaired.
All Techne units have been designed to conform to
international safety requirements and are fitted with an
overtemperature cutout. On some models, the cutout is
adjustable and should be set to suit the application. On
all other models the cutout is preset to protect the unit.
If a safety problem should be encountered, switch off at
the mains socket and remove the plug from the supply.

This may be integral or plug-in.
