PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
Do not use the unit outdoors. Exposure to rain may cause leakage and/or electric shock.
Only qualified engineers or service personnel should install the unit. Installation by unqualified
personnel may cause electric shock or fire.
Install the unit in a location capable of bearing the total combined weight (product + optional
accessories + stored items). After installing the unit, be absolutely sure to take precautions to
prevent the unit from falling over. If the unit is installed in a location which is not strong enough or if
the proper precautions are not taken, the unit may fall over and cause injuries.
Turn the leveling feet to separate the casters from the floor and secure the unit. If they are left
touching the floor, the unit may inadvertently move out of position when its door is opened or closed. It
may cause injury.
Do not install the unit where there are high levels of moisture or where it may be splashed with
water. Installing the unit where there are high levels of moisture or where it may be splashed with
water may cause the insulation to deteriorate and give rise to leakage and/or electric shock.
Do not install the unit in a location where flammable or volatile substances are present.
Installing the unit in a location where flammable or volatile substances are present may cause
explosions and/or a fire.
Do not install the unit in a location where corrosive gases such as acids are present. Installing
the unit in a location where corrosive substances are present may cause electrical components to
corrode, leading to leakage and/or electric shock due to the deterioration of insulation resulting from
corroded electrical components.
Do not place this unit in a location where it is difficult to disconnect the power supply plug.
Failure to disconnect the power supply plug may cause fire in the event of a problem or malfunction.
Be absolutely sure to earth (ground) the unit to prevent electric shock. Failure to earth the
product may give rise to electric shock. If necessary, ask a qualified contractor to do this work.
Do not connect the earth wire to a gas pipe, water pipe or lightning rod when earthing the
unit. Earthing the unit improperly may give rise to electric shock.
Connect the unit to a power source as indicated on the rating label attached to the unit. Use of
any other voltage or frequency other than that on the rating label may cause fire or electric shock.
Never store volatile or flammable substances in this unit except in a sealed container. Such
substances may cause explosion or fire if they leak.

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
When handling harmful samples (for example, those which consist of toxic, pathogenic or
radioactive substances), install the unit inside a designated isolation facility. If the unit is
installed in a location which is not an isolation facility, there may be detrimental effects on both people
and the natural environment.
Before proceeding with maintenance or checking the unit, and disconnect the power supply
plug. Performing the work while power is still flowing to the product or while the power supply plug is
still connected may give rise to electric shock and/or injury.
Do not touch any electrical parts (such as power supply plug) or operate switches with a wet
hand. This may cause electric shock.
Wear protective gloves and mask during maintenance. Touching or inhaling chemicals or
aerosols from around the unit may be detrimental to health.
Never splash water directly onto the unit as this may cause electric shock or short circuit.
Never put containers with liquid on top of the unit as this may cause electric shock or short circuit if
the liquid is spilled.
Never damage the power supply cord or power supply plug (by breaking, adapting, placing near
a source of heat, bending with force, twisting, pulling, adding weight, or binding). A damaged
power supply cord or power supply plug may cause electric shock, short circuit, or fire
Never disassemble, repair, or modify the unit yourself. A high-voltage area is located inside the
unit. Any work carried out by unauthorized personnel may result in electric shock. Contact our sales
representative or agent for maintenance or repair.
Make sure the power supply plug is pushed fully in. Faulty insertion of the power supply plug may
cause electric shock or fire due to generation of heat. Never use a damaged power supply plug or
loose power supply outlet
Disconnect the power supply plug if there is anything wrong with the unit. Continued abnormal
operation may cause electric shock or fire.
Grip the power supply plug when disconnecting the power supply cord from the outlet. Pulling
the power supply cord may cause electric shock or short circuit.
Remove dust from the power supply plug periodically. Dust on the power supply plug may cause
insulation failure due to moisture and thus cause a fire. Disconnect the power supply plug and wipe it
with a dry cloth
