2.6 Safety instructions - operation
2.6.1 General
The operator of the qTOWER³ touch must make sure before each commissioning that
the condition of the device including the safety equipment is sound.
Observe the following:
Free access to the power switch on the back of the enclosure has to be ensured
during operation.
The ventilation fittings at the rear of the device must be unobstructed and opera-
tional. Covered vents or ventilation slits etc. may cause the device to break down or
may cause damage to it.
Be careful to avoid crushing or pinching injuries when closing the device.
The use of oil between the samples and the sample block is not necessary to
achieve an improved heat exchange. However, if you still want to use oil, you
should use mineral oil. Do not use silicone oil.
The thermal block, the samples and the heated lid reach high temperatures. There
is a risk of burns during contact.
Ensure that the lid is securely closed before starting the program! Do not touch the
heated lid!
The rapid heating of the thermal block can cause liquids to boil explosively. Always
wear safety goggles during operation!
Do not touch hot sample vessels or plates and do not open them or boiling liquid
may escape!
Only use plates and vessels that are suitable for high temperatures (up to 100 °C),
fit well into the thermal block (no shaking) and whose lids seal tightly!
