Safety Instructions - IKA HBR 4 digital Mode D'emploi

For your protection
• Read the operating instructions in full 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 appliance.
• 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.
• When emptying the device use only the handles to carry and hold it.
• 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 and accessories for
damage. Do not use damaged components.
• Caution! Only process and heat up media that has a flash point
higher than the adjusted safe temperature limit of the heating
bath that has been set.
The safe temperature limit of the heating bath must always be
set to at least 25 °C lower than the fire point of the media used.
DANGER
sensitive mediums please consider: upon continuous operation
with high speed and a room temperature of 20 °C a warming up
of the housing up to 40 °C is possible.
• 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.
DANGER
flash point > 260 °C are also permitted.
There is a risk of burning when using tempering media with low-
er flashpoints!
• Before use, calculate the optimum fill level of the tempering me-
dium! 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.
• When using the heating bath in conjunction with a rotary evap-
orator, 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 break-
age of the evaporating flask glass during distillation of water
using a silicone oil bath).
• When working with the IKA
hazard arising from breakage of the evaporating flask glass.
• Be aware of a hazard due to lack of grip on a wet evaporating
flask, in particular when operating the IKA
control heating bath with silicone oil!

Safety instructions

Risk of burns! During operation,
the heating bath housing can get
hot.
When working with temperature
Caution! The preferred tempering
medium in the heating bath is wa-
ter (up to approx. 80 °C). Low vis-
cosity silicone oils (50 mPas) with a
rotary evaporator, be aware of a

• When using as a water bath, the use of demineralised water is
recommended.
• Always observe the minimum fill level of one litre when using oil
as the tempering medium.
• Ensure that the interfaces are not soiled.
• 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 appliance in explosive atmospheres, with
hazardous substances or under water.
• Refer to the operating instructions for the accessories.
• Safe operation is only guaranteed with the accessories described
in the "Accessories" chapter.
• Always disconnect the plug before fitting accessories.
• After an interruption to the power supply, the device can be
started up again in operating mode B and C.
• The device is only disconnected from the power supply network
if the device power switch is off or the plug is pulled out.
• The socket for the mains cord must be easily accessible.
ATTENTION
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 appliance and accessories from bumps and impacts.
• The appliance may only be opened by experts.
In conjunction with IKA ® rotary evaporator, IKA
• Solvents can be hazardous to health. Therefore comply with the
relevant warnings and refer to the relevant safety data sheet
(Internet).
IKA Glassware
®
• The glassware is designed to be used at vacuums down to 1 mbar.
Coated glassware
• Coated glass components offer protection against the glass
splintering if it breaks under vacuum. Please note that when
coated glassware is used it is only to the condenser and receiv-
ing flask to which coating is applied.
• For operational reasons, the coating is not applied to the entire
area of the glass. In particular on the condenser there are areas
to which no coating is applied, especially at places where joints
and connections are made.
• Evaporating flasks with special heat-resistant coatings are avail-
able as accessories.
• The coating does not offer any protection against damage to
the glass or breakage of the glass.
• Do not use the glass component if its coating is damaged.
• The use of coated glassware does not release you from the obli-
gation when the device is in use to enclose it on all sides with an
extractor hood or to employ an appropriate safety device.
Caution - magnetism!
Beware of possible effects from the
magnetic field (pacemakers, data
media).
