Safety Instructions; Correct Use - IKA HB eco Mode D'emploi

For your protection
• Read the operating instructions completely before starting up
and follow the safety instructions.
• Keep the operating instructions in a place where they can be
accessed by everyone.
• Ensure that only trained staff work with the device.
• Follow the safety instructions, guidelines, occupational health
and safety and accident prevention regulations.
• Wear your personal protective equipment in accordance with
the hazard category of the medium to be processed. Otherwise
there is a risk of splashing liquids.
• Set up the device in a spacious area on an even, stable, clean,
non-slip, dry and fireproof surface.
• Prior to each use, always check the device for damage. Do not
use damaged components.
Only process and heat up media
CAUTION
that has a flash point higher than
the adjusted safe temperature lim-
it of the heating bath that has
been set.
Risk of burns! During operation,
DANGER
the heating bath housing can get
hot.
• When emptying the device use only the handles to carry and hold it.
• Prior to filling or emptying the heating bath, the device must be
switched off and disconnected from the power supply at the
plug.
• Only fill or empty the heating bath when it is cold.
• Empty the heating bath prior to transporting it.
• Never operate the heating bath without tempering medium.
The preferred tempering medium
DANGER
in the heating bath is water. There
is a risk of burning when using
tempering media with lower flash-
points!
• Before use, calculate the optimum filling level of the tempering
medium! Pay special attention to the change in volume caused
by heating and the displacement that occurs when immersing
an object, for example, an evaporating flask.
• Use
The IKA tempering baths HB eco is laboratory device and is suita-
ble for directly tempering substances filled into the bath container.
They are also suitable for indirect tempering of substances filled
in glass containers when the glass containers are immersed in the
actual tempering medium. A rotary glass container is particularly
advantageous, for example, when used in conjunction with an
IKA rotary evaporator.
The device is not intended to pre-

• When using the heating bath in combination with a rotary
evaporator, the heating bath temperature must not be allowed
to rise to a value higher than the boiling point of the solvent
at normal pressure, since if the evaporating flask glass were to
break there would be a hazard due to liquid spraying out (for
instance breakage of the evaporating flask glass during distilla-
tion of aether when the medium temperature is at 60 °C).
When working with the IKA rotary
CAUTION
evaporator, be aware of a hazard
arising from breakage of the evap-
orating flask glass.
Be aware of a hazard due to lack
CAUTION
of grip on a wet evaporating flask.
• The use of demineralised water is recommended.
• Beware of hazards due to flammable materials.
• Only process media that will not react dangerously to the extra
energy produced through processing. This also applies to any
extra energy produced in other ways, e.g. through light irradia-
tion.
• Do not operate the device in explosive atmospheres, with haz-
ardous substances or under water.
• The device will automatically restart in mode C following any
interruption to the power supply.
• The device can only be disconnected from the mains supply by
pulling out the mains plug or the connector plug.
• The socket for the mains cord must be easily accessible.
For protection of the equipment
• The voltage stated on the type plate must correspond to the
mains voltage.
• Socket must be earthed (protective ground contact).
• Protect the device and accessories from bumps and impacts.
• The device may only be opened by experts.
Solvents
• Solvents can be hazardous to health. Therefore comply with the
relevant warnings and refer to the relevant safety data sheet
(Internet).
This device is suitable for use in all areas except:
- Residential areas
- Areas that are connected directly to a low-voltage supply net-
work that also supplies residential areas.
The safety of the user cannot be guaranteed:
- If the device is operated with accessories that are not supplied or
recommended by the manufacturer;
- If the device is operated improperly or contrary to the manufac-
turer's specifications;
- If the device or the printed circuit board are modified by the third
parties.
