2.5 Other Precautions
Observe the following precautions when using the chamber.
DO NOT use or leave equipment outdoors.
Not only can outdoor environments adversely affect performance and
functioning, but also electrical part contact with water can lead to short-
circuit, fire, electrical shock, and breakdown.
DO NOT turn the refrigeration ON within 5 minutes of turning it
OFF.
Failure to observe the above precaution can seriously shorten the life of the refrigeration system.
HOT AIR BLAST WHEN OPEN! Use caution when opening the door
during and shortly after operation at high temperature or high
humidity.
Hot (wet) air is blown from inside the chamber when opened.
HOT ON THE INSIDE! During and shortly after operation above
55°C, the chamber is HOT on the inside (including specimens, shelves, door gasket, and
test area walls).
Direct contact may result in burns. Wear heat resistant gloves.
DO NOT introduce electrically conductive specimens which might easily be thrown about
by air currents inside the chamber.
Specimens of this sort can cause leaks in the heater if they infiltrate the air conditioner.
