Flame shield
The flame shield hinges onto the front of the sample compartment and is
designed to reduce heat and radiation hazards from the flame. An interlock
prevents you from igniting the flame unless the flame shield is closed. Always fit
the flame shield before using your instrument, and leave it closed unless you need
access to the burner.
WARNING
Eye Hazard
Some flames emit hazardous levels of UV radiation, which can cause
cataracts and skin cancer. Always keep the flame shield, sample
compartment front panel, and chimney in place when the flame is operating.
To fit the flame shield:
1 Hook the flame shield onto the bar at the top of the sample compartment.
2 Lower the flame shield until it rests on the stainless-steel bosses on either side
of the sample compartment.
To remove the flame shield, lift it up and unhook it from the front of the sample
compartment.
