Work With Protective Hood And Protective Shield (Optional, P/N 591.00010.00 And 591.00020.00); Add Substance To Be Distilled; Aerate By Hand; Adjust Hot Bath Temperature - Heidolph LABOROTA 4000eco Mode D'emploi

20 Work with protective hood and protective shield (optional, P/N 591.00010.00
and 591.00020.00)
If you cannot locate the rotary evaporator behind a glass shield, optional protective hood
(25) and shield (17) offer adequate protection for the user.
The protective hood raises together with the lift, hence giving room for replacing the
evaporator flask (P).
Folding the protective hood up though 90° with its handle (25a) the evaporator flask's
section (P) is accessible. As described in Chapter 12, the protective hood easily adjusts to
fit position of the hot bath, e.g. if the hot bath needs to be displaced.
Do not open protective hood in lower position of lift, if you use hood and
shield together (collision between hood and shield).
