Risk Assessment

This is a UV exposure unit and puts out the same UV that damages your skin and eyes in bright sun. Don’t look into the light for long periods. There is a safety interlock that has been added to the unit to stop the light from exposing with the lid open.

Before Use

Check the glass is clean, use the glass cleaner from under the sink and blue roll if it’s not. Remember to leave things how you would want to find them next time. Make sure there is no damp residue from screens stuck to the neoprene lid.

If the vacuum release knob is out, push it in.

During Use

Check the timer is set to roughly 3:00.
