DANGER
Do not place any flammable materials on, under or beside the
instrument.
Leave enough clear space around the instrument to prevent a build-
up of heat.
The MRS 120-3 may not be used to analyze explosive, highly
flammable samples.
Do not operate the MRS 120-3 moisture analyzer in areas where
there is any risk of explosion.
Sample materials which release toxic substances must be dried in a
fume hood. Take care not to inhale any harmful vapors.
Ensure that no liquid seeps inside the instrument or into the
connection ports on the back of the instrument.
If you spill any liquid onto the instrument, unplug it from the electrical
supply immediately.
Do not operate the moisture analyzer again until you have had it
checked by a KERN service engineer.
CAUTION
Some of the parts, like the heating element and the viewing window,
may become considerably hotter while it is in operation. Only touch
the instrument using the handles provided.
Take care when you remove the sample. The actual sample, the
heating unit and sample pans used may still be very hot.
The MRS 120-3 should generally be used for drying substances
containing water. Sample materials which give off aggressive vapors
(like acids) may cause corrosion problems to develop on parts of the
instrument.
If any damage or injury occurs, liability and responsibility rest with the
user.
