14 10.06.2014
• Use of the chamber lid and the viewing window in the chamber lid
as a storage, working or cutting surface.
• Cleaning of the chamber lid and the viewing window in the cham-
ber lid with cleaning agents which have an abrasive effect (e.g.
abrasive household liquid cleaner, scouring pads, steel wool etc).
• Aseptic packing of products.
Info
Misuse will exclude any liability on behalf of the manufacturer. In
such a case, the operating company alone bears the risk.
1.5 Warning against incorrect use
• Incorrect operation
For example: sealing times that are too short or too long and there-
fore result in improperly sealed packs which in turn damage the
product.
• Neglecting the following work tasks:
– Inspections.
– Cleaning work.
– Maintenance work.
• Use of third-party parts, i.e. parts that are not MULTIVAC spare
parts.
• Operation under prohibited ambient conditions.
1.6 Residual risks
The safety instructions in this manual serve as guidelines for trained
operating personnel in safe working practice with the machine. The
manufacturer cannot however foresee all possible product-related
hazards. This is why the safety instructions and warnings on the ma-
chine and in this manual cannot be considered exhaustive. The oper-
ating company and operating personnel remain ultimately responsible
for safety.
1.7 Obligations of the operating company
1.7.1 Creating the operating directive
The machine and operating materials are a potential source of haz-
ards. The operating company is obliged to draw up an operating di-
rective. The operating directive regulates the handling of hazardous
machines or operating materials, as well as laying down rules for be-
haviour in the case of an emergency. The required information can be
found in the following documents:
• The EC directives for worker protection.
• National legislation.
• Accident prevention regulations.
