General Information and Precautions

Safety Symbols:

1.1. Precautions related to the power cable

| Always allow at least 3cm between the power cable and the back wall to prevent the back wall from causing pressure on the power cable.
---|---
| Always use the electrical plug that was supplied with this instrument.
| Never touch the power cord with wet hands. (This can result in electric shock.)
| Never use a damaged power cord or power outlet.
| In the event of smoke or a burning smell, immediately remove the power cord from the outlet.

1.2. Precaution for use

| Do not attempt to disassemble this instrument. If service is required, please contact your local representative.
---|---
| Never operate a flammable spray near this instrument. (This can result in a fire hazard.)
| Always use caution when using flammable substances such as benzene, alcohol and LP gas. (Failure to do so can result in a fire hazard.)
| Prevent foreign substances from contacting the door seal. (The inflow of outside air can negatively impact the temperature in chamber.)
| Permissible ambient temperature range for transport: -10℃ to 60℃.
| ALWAYS ensure that the instrument is connected to an outlet with specifciations that match those of the serial number label.
(Over-voltage or under-voltage can damage the product and result in poor performance.)
| When installing the instrument, always allow a distance of at least 30cm from the back wall. Install the unit in the way that the power plug is easily accessible and can be easily pulled in case of danger.
| Install the instrument on a flat and stable surface, free from vibration and in a well-ventilated location. (If the surface is not level, it can cause an excessive vibration of the product.)
