1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ɽ When handling hazardous substances, comply with the applicable national statutory
laws and regulations, and with the instructions in this instruction manual.
ɽ Work on the electrical system may be performed only by trained electricians and on
de‑energised equipment.
ɽ Before preparation for use, a functional inspection must be performed in order to de‑
tect any damage that has occurred due to transport, delivery or improper installation.
ɽ Safety devices must be checked regularly (duty of annual checking). Please entrust this
work to personnel with the appropriate skills!
ɽ Installation conditions for the building must be complied with (for instance bolting the
cabinets to the fabric of the building).
ɽ Comply with the accident prevention regulations and the Working Area Directive.
ɽ Use the cabinet only as instructed. Access by unauthorised persons must be prohibi‑
ted.
ɽ The opening swing of the doors must be kept clean and unobstructed at all times.
ɽ Doors / drawers must be opened only to insert and withdraw items – keep doors /
drawers closed at other times.
ɽ Comply with the height limits for storage quantities, storage loads, etc. as shown on
the notices on the doors / drawers.
ɽ Do not store aggressive substances (acids, alkalis, corrosive gases) in the cabinet – risk
of corrosion of the internal fittings and air extraction components. Use special acid and
alkali storage cabinets for such substances.
ɽ Before introducing goods (such as chemicals) in the storage cabinet, check that the
cabinet surfaces are resistant to them.
ɽ No container with capacity greater than that of the base containment tray may be sto‑
red. Any hazardous substances that leak must be immediately wiped up and disposed
of.
ɽ Ensure an adequate technical air extraction system.
ɽ Pipe and cable pass‑throughs must be correctly performed in accordance with the fire
protection regulations and must not affect the operational integrity of the cabinet.
After removal of such pipes and cables, the pass‑through openings must be closed off
so that the entire cabinet satisfies the fire protection regulations. If this is not done the
entire cabinet loses its approval status (see instructions on the inside of the cabinet
door).
