Safety

1.1 Warning symbols
The symbols below are marked on the equipment to indicate:
Caution: Surfaces and water can be hot during and after use.
Read this manual before using the bath
1.2

Safety certification

VWR water baths meet the requirements of international safety standard IEC 61010-2-10 and
IEC 61010-2-51 and national standards based on them including:
UL 61010A-2-010
UL 61010-2-051-04
1.3

Safety features

The shaking trolley is driven by a magnetic drive system. The drive magnet in the tank is
magnetically coupled to a motor-driven magnet under the tank. The magnetic coupling cannot
exert enough force to cause injury.
In addition to the digital temperature control system, there is a separate fixed-temperature
cut-out to protect the bath and surroundings in the very unlikely event of failure of the control
system.
1.4

Before first operating the equipment

Read the whole of these instructions. Safety may be impaired if they are not followed.
If the equipment has been transported or stored in cold or humid conditions, condensation
may form inside it. If that could have happened, allow time (at least 2 hours) for the
condensation to evaporate before using the equipment.
1.5

Precautions during and after operation

The bath is for use only with water as the bath liquid. Make sure that it cannot become
contaminated by other liquids. The use of de-ionized water is recommended to prevent
corrosion.
Change the water regularly and empty when not in use for prolonged periods, to further
prevent corrosion and contamination.
Do not use the equipment in an area where there are aggressive or explosive chemical
mixtures or atmosphere.
If potentially hazardous liquid is spilt onto the equipment, disconnect it from the power supply
and have it checked by a qualified service technician. It is the user's responsibility to carry out
appropriate decontamination if hazardous material is spilled on the equipment.
Do not use the bath to heat any material that could cause a fire or any other kind of hazard.
Take care when operating after a power interruption as shaking will restart at the previous
speed.
Restricting or interfering with the tray motion in the bath may reduce performance and reduce
reliability
There are accessible moving parts in the bath. Observe safe working practices when
operating a shaking bath. Users should not interfere with moving parts when in use and
prevent accidental contact from items such as fingers, hair or clothing.
