1.6 Intended use

Cooling incubators KB are suitable for exact conditioning of harmless materials. Because of their precise

temperature accuracy these devices are especially useful for cultivation of microorganisms with a narrow

temperature optimum in a range of 4 °C / 39.2°F to 37 °C / 98.6°F. Main fields of application are tests of

long-term storage (e.g. at 4 °C / 39.2°F), refrigerated incubation between 20 °C / 68°F and 25 °C / 77°F

and incubation at 37 °C / 98.6°F (also with additional introduction of heat) or with alternating temperatures

(e.g. 37 °C / 98.6°F and 4 °C / 39.2°F).

A mixture of any component of the charging material with air must NOT be explosive. The operating

temperature must lie below the flash point or below the sublimation point of the charging material. Any

component of the charging material must NOT be able to release toxic gases.

Other applications are not approved.

Cooling incubators KB are not classified as medical devices as defined by the Medical Device

Directive 93/42/EEC.

Following the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work

(chap. 17.1) are part of the intended use.

DANGER

Explosion or implosion hazard.

Danger of poisoning.

Danger of death.

∅ Do NOT introduce any substance combustible or explosive at working temperature into

the constant climate chamber.

∅ NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the inner chamber.

∅ Do NOT introduce any substance which could lead to release of toxic gases.

The charging material shall not contain any corrosive ingredients that may damage the

machine components made of stainless steel, aluminum, and copper. Such ingredients

include in particular acids and halides. Any corrosive damage caused by such ingredients is

excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH.

WARNING: If customer should use a BINDER chamber running in non-supervised continuous

operation, we strongly recommend in case of inclusion of irrecoverable specimen or samples

to split such specimen or samples and store them in at least two chambers, if this is feasible.
