Ovens

  • Be cautious of hot surfaces when loading and unloading items. Recently dried contents inside will be extremely hot.
  • Make sure to keep face, body and hands away from escaping heat when opening the door to avoid burns.
  • Do not use oven to dry volatile samples. This will pose an inhalation hazard.
  • To avoid explosion, glassware that has been rinsed with an organic solvent should be rinsed again with distilled water before being dried in an oven.
  • Never use for human food preparation.
