WARNING
Danger of injury and damages by the chamber tipping over or breakaway of the pro-
truding lower housing cover.
Injuries and damage to the chamber and the loading material
∅ Do NOT load the lower housing cover with heavy objects while the chamber door is
open and do NOT climb on it.
1.8 Intended use
Following the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work
(chap. 21.2) are part of the intended use.
Any use of the chambers that does not comply with the requirements specified in this Operating
Manual shall be considered improper use.
Other applications than those described in this chapter are not approved.
Use
Cooling incubators KB / KB-UL are suitable for exact conditioning of harmless materials. Because of their
precise temperature accuracy these devices are especially useful for cultivation of microorganisms with a
narrow temperature optimum in a range of 4 °C / 39.2 °F to 37 °C / 98.6 °F. Main fields of application are
tests of long-term storage (e.g. at 4 °C / 39.2 °F), refrigerated incubation between 20 °C / 68 °F and 25 °C
/ 77 °F and incubation at 37 °C / 98.6 °F (also with additional introduction of heat) or with alternating tem-
peratures (e.g. 37 °C / 98.6 °F and 4 °C / 39.2 °F).
Requirements for the chamber load
Any solvent must not be explosive and flammable. A mixture of any component of the charging material
with air must NOT be explosive. The operating temperature must lie below the flash point or below the
sublimation point of the charging material. Any component of the charging material must NOT be able to
release toxic gases.
The charging material shall not contain any corrosive ingredients that may damage the machine compo-
nents made of stainless steel, aluminum, and copper. Such ingredients include in particular acids and hal-
ides. Any corrosive damage caused by such ingredients is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH.
The chamber does not dispose of any measures of explosion protection.
DANGER
Explosion or implosion hazard and danger of poisoning through the introduction of
unsuitable loading material.
Poisoning. Serious injury or death from burns and / or explosion pressure.
∅ Do NOT introduce any substance combustible or explosive at working temperature into
the chamber, in particular no energy sources such as batteries or lithium-ion batteries.
∅ NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the inner chamber.
∅ Do NOT introduce any substance which could lead to release of toxic gases.
