Electricity and fire hazards
Potential risks arising from electrical devices include electric shock, short, and overheating.
Electric shock may lead to severe personal injury or even death. An electric short or
overheating may cause a fire. Electronic equipment might emit sparks, which could ignite combustible
vapors or material resulting in explosion or fire. Do not use the instrument in areas classified as hazardous
locations; for example, in oxygen-laden environments.
The housing of the instrument is designed to reduce the risk of electric shock, electric short, and spread of fire.
Except for the Safety Shield and Trough, do not remove or penetrate any cover. Only authorized personnel must
remove the other covers of the instrument. Never push a foreign object through an opening into the
instrument. Do not use the instrument if
it is opened or disassembled,
l
it has been dropped or damaged,
l
it has damaged or broken parts,

If flames or smoke appear, immediately switch off the power supply, unplug the instrument from the electrical
outlet, and contact an authorized Miltenyi Biotec service provider or Miltenyi Biotec Technical Support.
The instrument is intended for indoor use only.
shorts, electric shock or fire. Take special care while handling fluids. Do not allow fluids to enter the interior
of the instrument.
Protect the instrument against accidental spillages and splashes. Clean up spillages immediately. Do not operate
the instrument if liquids have spilled into the instrument. Do not use the instrument in a wet or damp location.
Avoid areas with high humidity or condensation. Moving the instrument from a cold environment – such as a
cold room at 5 °C – to room temperature may cause condensation inside the instrument. In such cases, wait for
the instrument to dehumidify before operating it. Unplug the instrument from the electrical outlet before
cleaning.
Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaning agents; always use a damp cloth.
Ensure adequate air circulation in the room where the instrument is operated. In the absence of adequate
circulation, ambient air may not cool the instrument to acceptable operating temperatures. Allow sufficient air
circulation around the instrument – at least 15 cm on all sides – during operation to ensure adequate cooling.
Do not place the instrument near radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other equipment (including amplifiers) that
generate heat. Protect the instrument from direct sunlight. Do not cover the slots and openings of the
instrument as these are provided for ventilation and protect the instrument from overheating. Do not place the
instrument in a built-in rack or similar confined spaces unless the space has been specifically designed to
provide proper ventilation. Follow the mounting instructions for the instrument.
Ensure that the mains switch as well as the connector for the power cable are easily accessible and located as
close to the operator of the instrument as possible. If it is necessary to disconnect the power supply, unplug the
cable from the power outlet.
