CAUTION: Important information is contained in any item and should be carefully read. Failure to observe the instruction would result in damage or abnormal function of the instrument
Note: Notes alert you to pertinent facts and conditions.
WARNING: If the Thermo Scientific Touch Screen Drybath is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the unit may be impaired.
During operation, maintenance and repair of this instrument, the following basic safety notes should be observed. In case of failure to follow these instructions, the warnings or notes indicated here in, the basic protection provided by the instrument, its safety criteria of design and manufacture, and its predicted use range would be impaired. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Thermo Fisher Scientific is not responsible for any injury as a result of the user’s failure to observe the following requirements.
For your own safety, user should observe the following safety warning signs.
The warning signs indicate potential sources of danger. They also inform on how to correct action can avert danger.

CAUTION: This instrument is for indoor use.

• The ground connection
  To avoid the electric shock, the input power line must be reliably grounded. The instrument is equipped with the three-pin plug that has the third pin (the pin connects the ground), therefore, the plug should be used with the grounded power socket only. This is a kind of safety device. If the plug cannot be plugged into the power socket, please ask the electrician to install a correct power socket, so as to make the grounded plug to work for safety.

• Observe voltage/power requirements Before the instrument is connected with the AC power source, the voltage of the power source should be the same with the required voltage of the instrument (a deviation of 10%is allowed). e rated load of the power socket should not be lower than the requirements of the instrument.

• The power cord
  The instrument should use the power line cord attached to it. If the power line is destroyed, it must be replaced but not be repaired. The replacement should be carried out with the power line of the same type and same specification (reach out to technical service team for further information). No items should be put on the power cord when the instrument is in operation.

• Connecting and disconnecting from power source
  The user should hold the plug to remove from power source. When connecting the plug, user should make sure it has been fully plugged in; when removing the plug, do not pull the power line forcefully. Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the disconnecting device (plug).

• Placement of the instrument
  This instrument should be fixed in a low RH and low dust place away from water source (e.g. sink or water pipeline) and the room should be well ventilated, and free of corrosive gas or interference of strong magnetic field. The instrument should not be placed in a wet or dusty location.
  The openings on this instrument are for ventilation circulation and in order to avoid over-heat of the instrument body they should not be blocked or covered. When a single set of instrument is used, the interval between ventilation opening before and after the instrument and its nearest object should not be less than 25 cm. Also, don’t use the instrument on loose or soft surface, or the air inlet of instrument bottom might be blocked. Excessive temperature will impair performance or result in failure of instrument. This instrument should not be used in location subjected to direct sun light. The instrument should be kept away from hot gas, oven and all other heat sources. If the instrument is to be stored for a long time, the power plug should be withdrawn and the instrument covered with soft cloth or plastic film to avoid entrance of dust. The product is powered by connecting the mains plug to a standard socket-outlet. Always place the product in such a way that it is easy for the operator to disconnect the product from the mains supply.

• Explanation of symbols
  Attention, read user manual before use.

• WARNING: There is a sign of
  “CAUTION: HOT SURFACE! ATTENTION: SURFACE HOT” on the instrument. The metal part (module) near the sign should not be touched with any part of the body when the instrument is operating in a high temperature state or just finished operation to avoid burns!

• Alternating Current

• Protective Conductor Terminal

• CAUTION: In any of the following cases, immediately turn off the power supply, withdraw the power plug from the power socket, contact the supplier for service:

• Liquid drops into the inside of the instrument.

• The instrument is rained on or water is spilled on it.

• The instrument works abnormally, especially if generating an abnormal sound or odor.

• The instrument is dropped or its casing is damaged.

• The function of instrument obviously changes.
