Handling & Precautions

• Safe Use:
   Avoid operating without cooling water.
   Ensure the vacuum pump and glass joints are securely connected.
   Do not exceed the recommended flask rotation speed.
• Cleaning Instructions:
   Use non-abrasive cleaners; rinse with distilled water.
   Remove residues immediately to avoid buildup.
• Autoclaving/Heating Limits:
   Borosilicate Glass 3.3 tolerates high temperatures; avoid sudden cooling.
   The heating bath should operate within the manufacturer-recommended range.
• Do’s:
  Inspect for cracks before use.
   Lubricate glass joints with suitable vacuum grease.
  Keep the condenser free from blockages.
• Don’ts:
   Do not apply excessive vacuum beyond rated capacity.
   Avoid bending or twisting glass tubing.
• Best Practices:
   Maintain pump oil and check seals regularly.
   Store glassware in padded racks after cleaning.
